Garrymore's Enda Hession and Ballintubber's Bryan Walsh have both been called up to the Mayo starting side to face Tyrone in the All-Ireland SFC final.

Hession made a telling impact on the epic extra-time victory over Dublin after his introduction as a first-half substitute and forms one third of a half-back line that also includes Paddy Durcan and Stephen Coen.

Picked at wing-forward for tomorrow evening's Croke Park showdown, Walsh also put in a solid shift in the semi-final against Dubs when he was sprung from the bench.

Eoghan McLaughlin is forced to drop out after undergoing surgery on a broken jaw, while Darren McHale is the other player who makes way.

Aidan O'Shea captains the team from centre-forward, with returning All-Star defender Oisin Mullin being held in reserve. 

Mayo (All-Ireland SFC final v Tyrone): Rob Hennelly; Padraig O'Hora, Lee Keegan, Michael Plunkett; Paddy Durcan, Stephen Coen, Enda Hession; Matthew Ruane, Conor Loftus; Diarmuid O'Connor, Aidan O'Shea, Bryan Walsh; Kevin McLoughlin, Tommy Conroy, Ryan O'Donoghue.
