Trevor Mortimer - his return from England is a big boost for Mayo
Trevor Mortimer - his return from England is a big boost for Mayo

Trevor Mortimer once again makes the trip from England for Sunday's Allianz National Football League Division One semi-final clash against Armagh at Croke Park on Sunday.

Mortimer, who is a student in Leeds, made the trip in vain last weekend as the inclement weather in Roscommon ensured the original Hyde Park fixture was postponed.

And his presence at HQ was confirmed today when manager John Maughan named the Shrule-Glencorrib man in his full forward line.

James Nallen, who also rushed home for last week's game - in his case from holidays in the Caribbean - is preferred to Alan Roche at centre-back.

Armagh are, as expected, unchanged.

Sunday's highly-anticipated clash is an all-ticket affair.

Tickets are available from the relevant county boards, from Ticketmaster outlets and its website, and from the ticket office at Croke Park on Thursday and Friday, from 11am to 7pm, and on Saturday, from 11am to 5pm.

They are also available from McCaughey's shop on Clonliffe Road and O'Neill's Newsagent on Drumcondra Road.

Adult stand tickets cost €20, Hill 16 tickets cost €15, students and OAPs can purchase tickets for €5, while juvenile (under-16s) tickets are priced at €2.

Mayo SF team v Armagh: David Clarke, Keith Higgins, David Heaney, Dermot Geraghty, Conor Moran, James Nallen, Peadar Gardiner, Ronan McGarrity, Billy Joe Padden, James Gill, Ciaran McDonald, Andy Moran, Conor Mortimer, Trevor Mortimer, Alan Dillon.

Armagh SF team v Mayo: P Hearty; A Mallon, F Bellew, P McCormack; A Kernan, K McGeeney, C McKeever; J Toal, P McGrane; M O'Rourke, J McEntee, O McConville; S McDonnell, R Clarke, B Mallon.
