Dual stars Keith Higgins and Fergal Boland feature in the Mayo attack for today's Christy Ring Cup opener against Kildare in Ballina.

The inclusion of Higgins and Boland is a massive boost for last year's Nicky Rackard Cup champions in the wake of a disappointing Division 2B league campaign which saw them lose four out of six games.

Mayo (Christy Ring Cup v Kildare): Davog Frayne; Brian Hunt, Gerard McManus, Michael Morley; Shane Morley, David Kenny, Cathal Freeman; Eoin McLoughlin, Kieran McDermott; Joseph McManus, Sean Regan, Keith Higgins; Diarmuid McLoughlin, Fergal Boland, Shane Boland.

Subs: Martin Parsons, Sean Mulroy, Gary Nolan, John Cotter, Corey Scahill, Darren McTigue, Padraig Hickey, Tony Sweeney, David Harrison, Adrian Phillips, Conor Murray, Daniel Huane, Mark Phillips.
