GALWAY BOSS KEVIN Walsh has named the team that he hopes will land the county’s first Connacht senior football title since 2008.
It’s eight years since Galway last won out in their province, when they defeated Mayo by 2-12 to 1-14.
They stunned Mayo in last month’s semi-final to end their aspirations for a sixth successive Connacht senior crown.
And Walsh has kept faith with the side that started that game in Castlebar for Sunday’s clash with Roscommon in Pearse Stadium.
There are only seven survivors from the Galway team that featured in the 2014 Connacht final in Gareth Bradshaw, Gary O’Donnell, Paul Conroy, Thomas Flynn, Damien Comer, Shane Walsh and Danny Cummins.
Throw-in in Salthill on Sunday is 2pm.

Dublin were very wasteful with possession today and 1st half sweeper tactics were all wrong. As usual Kilkenny were very physical and took their points. Bit disappointed with Dublin really, thought they would bring a lot more composure to the table today. Kilkenny are back at the top table of hurling that’s for sure, but there is reason to believe they’re not entirely imperious as they once were. Not a classic by any means, but fair play to the Cats they got the job done.
I’ve commented on the wrong match here haha! I hope some of the same analysis applies. Sunday brain freeze – shocking scenes lads.
You’re havin a mare kev
