Roscommon and Cork ring the changes for tonight's pre-season provincial deciders

Davy Burke’s Rossies face Mayo, while Limerick are the Rebels’ opposition.

LAST UPDATE | 20 Jan 2023

ROSCOMMON HAVE NAMED their team for tonight’s FBD Connacht League final against Mayo, while Cork have also shown their hand for their McGrath Cup decider clash with Limerick.

Davy Burke makes four changes to the side that started Roscommon’s semi-final win over Sligo.

Goalkeeper Conor Carroll, corner-back Tomás Crean, wing-back Conor Daly and centre-forward Ciarain Murtagh are all brought in for selection. Colm Lavin, David Murray, Patrick Gavin and Ben O’Carroll are the players to make way.

Diarmuid Murtagh is named as captain on this occasion. Throw-in at the University of Galway Connacht GAA Air Dome is 7.30pm, with the action live on TG4.

Cork have also changed their team up for tonight’s meeting with the Treaty in Mallow [throw-in 7.30pm, live on TG4 Youtube channel], with Sigerson commitments a factor for John Cleary’s side.

Goalkeeper Micheal Aodh Martin, defensive trio Thomas Clancy, Kevin O’Donovan and Sean Powter, midfielder Rory Maguire and centre-forward Killian O’Hanlon all come into the team after last Sunday’s win over Clare.

Their opposition, Limerick, showed their hand yesterday, as did Mayo manager Kevin McStay for their showdown with the Rossies. You can see both teams here
