Galway to give trio championship debuts in clash with Mayo

Both Mayo and Galway have championship debutants for Sunday’s Connacht SFC quarter-final clash in MacHale Park in Castlebar (4pm).

In a game which is expected to throw up a surprise or two in terms of personnel, Mayo have announced one championship debutant — Eoin O’Donoghue of Belmullet — while Galway go with three, Sean Andy Ó Ceallaigh, Ciarán Duggan, and Barry McHugh.

The Galway side, if it starts as expected, will show three changes to the team that lost to Dublin in last month’s Division 1 final, Peter Cooke and Seán Kelly set to miss out as well as confirmed injured Eamonn Brannigan. No players from All-Ireland senior winners Corofin have been included.
