Six changes for Mayo

Seamus and Aidan O'Shea will form a new-look midfielder partnership for Mayo in Sunday's Connacht SFC semi-final against Galway in Castlebar (throw-in 2pm).

The brothers from Breaffy will be starting a Championship match together for the first time, as manager James Horan freshens up the team that limped to an extra-time victory over London.

Keith Higgins, who has recovered from a torn hamstring, replaces the injured Dermot Geraghty at left corner back. Also in defence, former captain Trevor Mortimer returns at wing back with Chris Barrett losing out.

James Kilcullen, who is nursing a hand injury, and Jason Gibbons both make way as the O'Sheas team up for a crucial centre-field battle with Galway's likely pairing of Joe Bergin and Finian Hanley.

On the right side of the attack, there are starts for Kevin McLoughlin, who did well as a substitute against London, and Championship newcomer Cillian O'Connor. They take over from the benched Aidan Campbell and Trevor Howley, who injured his knee in a recent club game.

Horan's men beat Galway in the Allianz Football League in February, claiming a 2-14 to 0-12 win in Tuam with Jason Doherty (2-1) and captain Alan Dillon (0-5) leading the scoring. Sunday's winners will go on to meet Roscommon in the Connacht final on July 17.
