Mayo v Donegal, LIVE score updates from the All-Ireland Football Championship
Hello and welcome to our LIVE, minute by minute coverage of this afternoon's eagerly awaited Donegal, Mayo encounter from Hyde Park Roscommon. Mayo are in the bizarre position that if Tyrone defeat Cavan, a Mayo win would see them top the group, but a loss in these circumstances would see them exit the Championship. That's how precarious it is for Kevin McStay's side. Their need is greater here, but Donegal can't afford to take any chances either. If they were to lose and Cavan caused an upset against Tyrone, then Jim McGuinness' side would exit the Championship. A draw would be enough for both sides to progress to the next round and it wouldn't be a major suprise to see this happen.
For Donegal to top the group they need to win and for Cavan to upset Tyrone, which would see Donegal take the one automatic place in the All-Ireland quarter-finals. It looks a long shot for the northwest side, but they'll hardly want to let up here after what happened yesterday.
Last night's results have a bearing on affairs here. With Kerry and Dublin both finishing second in their groups and guaranteed a home All-Ireland preliminary round tie, Donegal and Mayo will both want to also finish second - rather than third - and avoid having to go to Killarney or Croke Park at this stage of the competition.
There's so much on the line here in what should be an absolute belter from Hyde Park that is likely to go to the dying seconds.
The one change is Conor Reid coming in for Dylan Thornton
Conor Reid comes into the Mayo panel and out goes Dylan Thornton, who was named to start at midfield. It is unclear yet who will start at midfield now for Mayo
