Ruddy entrusted with job of keeping Galway forwards at bay

MAYO have called up 20-year-old Fintan Ruddy from Glenamoy to make his senior debut in Sunday’s Bank of Ireland Connacht SFC final against Galway at Pearse Stadium, and manager John Maughan will be hoping that it will be a case of history repeating itself.

Ruddy takes over the goalkeeping position from regular custodian Peter Burke, who has been ruled out after damaging knee ligaments in training.

This is the only change to the Mayo team that proved too good for Sligo in the semi-final.
