Promotion-chasing Roscommon make three changes, O'Toole handed Cork senior debut

A win on Sunday would seal the Rossies’ return to the top flight.

LAST UPDATE | 23 Mar 2018

ROSCOMMON HAVE MADE three changes as they look to secure their return to Division 1 football on Sunday with victory over Cork.

Colm Lavin replaces James Featherston in goal, while Ultan Harney comes in at centre-back after returning from injury.

Conor Daly replaces his brother Ronan in the half-back line, with Brian Stack moving from 6 to number 7 in place of Niall Daly.

Cork — who are out the promotion race but not mathematically assured of safety yet — make three changes of their own.

Éire Óg’s Ronan O’Toole makes his debut for Ronan McCarthy’s side at wing-forward, while Ryan Price starts in goal and Sean Wilson comes in at centre-back.
