O'Malley poised for Mayo recall

RTE reports today that Goalkeeper Kenneth O'Malley is poised for a recall to the Mayo team for the Connacht SFC semi-final clash with Roscommon on Saturday week.

The 21-year-old is set to take the place of Ballina's David Clarke, who tore a groin muscle during the first half of Mayo's defeat to Louth in a challenge match at Garrymore last Friday.

Clarke, who has kept clean sheets in his last six competitive outings, suffered the injury while taking a kick-out and was immediately replaced by O'Malley, who only returned to the fold this season after suffering an horrific kidney injury in 2007.
