Kelly and Comer start for Galway while O'Connor named on Mayo bench

The two Connacht rivals meet at Pearse Stadium on Sunday.

DAMIEN COMER AND Seรกn Kelly have both been named in the Galway team set to take on Mayo in Sundayโ€™s All-Ireland SFC preliminary quarter-final clash at Pearse Stadium.

Moycullenโ€™s Kelly had been an injury concern for Padraic Joyceโ€™s side after coming off late in the defeat to Armagh last week, but is named to start at full-back. 

Comer is named at full-forward having sat out the game in Carrick-on-Shannon.

Meanwhile two-time All Star Cillian Oโ€™Connor returns to the Mayo bench. The Ballintubber forward has been recovering from a hamstring injury and missed Mayoโ€™s defeat to Cork last weekend.
