Leitrim’s leading scorer in the national football league, Keith Beirne, has been named as a substitute for Sunday’s Connacht SFC semi-final clash with Galway at Pearse Stadium.
The Mohill clubman missed the narrow win over London last month because of suspension – but is elligible to feature this weekend.
Beirne scored 2-44 during an impressive league campaign but his sending off during their concluding fixture against Sligo forced him to sit out the London game.
Team manager Andy Moran has named Ryan O’Rourke, Shane Moran and Domhnaill Flynn as his inside forward line for Sunday.
The game will be broadcast live in full on Ocean FM from 3:30pm, courtesy of MacManus Pharmacy, New Line, Manorhamilton – with commentary from Ray Lannon and Martin McGowan.
Ballinamore goalkeeper Darren Maxwell misses out on the matchday 26 with Shannon Gaels clubman Nevin O’Donnell set to wear the No 16 jersey.

1. Brendan Flynn
2. Mark Diffley
