ROSCOMMON MANAGER KEVIN McStay has made a number of changes to his side for Saturday’s All-Ireland football championship qualifier against Armagh, with experienced defender Sean McDermott recalled.

McDermott didn’t feature during Roscommon’s Connacht SFC defeat to Galway last month, but returns to the starting XV for Saturday’s round four qualifier at O’Moore Park.

Ultan Harney and Cathal Cregg also come back into the Roscommon side, with Brian Stack, Fintan Cregg and Niall Kilroy the players to make way.

Cathal Compton has recovered from the injury which forced him off during the 0-16 to 2-6 loss to Galway to start in midfield, as the Rossies bid to advance to the Super 8s stage.

The game will be shown live on the RTÉ News Now channel, with coverage beginning at 2.45pm and the action in Portlaoise getting underway at 3pm.
