NEW BOSS STEPHEN Rochford has named his first panel since being ratified as manager last month, with 23 players included in the squad to face NUI Galway on Sunday.

It’s an experimental selection, with a number of notable absentees, who are unavailable due to either injury or other commitments.

Players from Castlebar Mitchels, Hollymount-Carramore and Ardnaree Sarsfields were not included due to their involvement in the upcoming All-Ireland club championships.

The FBD Insurance League clash takes place in MacHale Park, Castlebar, at 2pm.
