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.
