Nally had started in the quarter-final victory against Mayo and bagged a goal in their 4-10 to 1-8 success in Castlebar.
John McManus and Shane Killoran both retain their places at wing-back and midfield respectively, having been brought into the side for the semi-final win over Sligo after not being involved against Mayo.
There are nine survivors from the Roscommon team that featured in last year’s Connacht U21 final when they were defeated by Galway. David Murray, McManus, Fintan Kelly, Conor Daly, Thomas Corcoran, Enda and Donal Smith all started in that extra-time loss while Ciaran Kilcline and Shane Killoran came on as substitutes.
There are five survivors from the setup that reached the 2012 All-Ireland U21 final with Murray, Daly and Donal Smith starting in that game while McManus and Kelly came on as substitutes.
Rosconmon are chasing their third Connacht title in five years as they contest their fifth successive provincial final. Throw-in at Carrick-on-Shannon on Saturday afternoon is 2.30pm.
