One change in Leitrim team as McGovern passed fit

Dean McGovern has been named in midfield for Leitrim for Saturday’s Connacht Championship semi-final against Roscommon.

The Ballinamore-Sean O’Heslin’s midfielder has shaken off an injury picked up in a recent club game to start alongside Mark Plunkett in the middle of the park in the only change to the 15 that started against New York.

Mohill’s Domhnaill Flynn drops to the bench having made his championship debut in Gaelic Park.

McGovern came off the bench to make a big impact against New York, and speaking to Ocean FM afterwards, attention was already turning towards the Rossies…

Roscommon have no debutants in their starting team for the game in Carrick-on-Shannon.

Boss Kevin McStay has named two sets of brothers in the forwards, with Boyle’s Donie and Enda Smith playing alongside Ciarán and Diarmuid Murtagh from the St Faithleach’s club.

Cathal Cregg, Ian Kilbride, Conor Daly and Sean McDermott are among those named on the bench.
