MICHAEL DONOGHUE HAS taken an axe to the Galway team who surrendered a big lead against Wexford two weeks ago.

Mannion brothers Padraic and Cathal return to the starting 15 after their recent club commitments, while James Skehill replaces Colm Callanan between the posts.

Gearoid McInerney, Adrian Tuohy, Matt Donoghue, Conor Whelan, Davy Glennon and Brian Molloy all drop to the bench.

Paul Killeen, Sean Loftus, Paul Flaherty and Thomas Monaghan come into the team.

Galway face Laois, who’ve also named their team, at home on Sunday in Division 1B of the Allianz Hurling League.
