Armagh v Mayo: Match details, throw-in time and how to watch as Armagh pick up the pieces of Donegal demolition against lowly Mayo

AFTER a second loss of the season to Donegal, Armagh will be eager to take out their frustrations on Mayo, who ground out a home victory over Tyrone last weekend.

Armagh will be without their captain Aidan Forker after the Maghery clubman headbutted Michael Murphy just 30 seconds into the Donegal man’s return to the inter-county scene after two years out.

The All-Ireland-winning skipper will now miss the next two matches for the Orchard county, meaning that he will also miss the visit of Dublin to the Athletic Grounds.

Mayo, while breathing a sight of relief that a vital cog in Armagh’s defence is missing, will still be quaking at the sight of the stacked Armagh team that still are capable of putting in a great performance, as they saw in their derby win over the Red Hands of Tyrone.

The Westerners have struggled so far this season, with losses against Dublin and Galway already under their belt before their win against Tyrone, Kevin McStay’s side will be lucky if they manage to maintain their Division One status, especially with the fixtures they have remaining, including a trip to Derry next month who dumped them out of last year’s All-Ireland Championship.
