ROSCOMMON JOINT MANAGERS Fergal O’Donnell and Kevin McStay have made four changes to their starting XV for their Allianz League semi-final against Kerry on Sunday.

Geoffrey Claffey returns in goal in place of Darren O’Malley after missing last week’s one-point defeat to Dublin.

In the half-back line, U21 star Sean Mullooly replaces David Keenan, while Conor Devaney comes into the half-forward line, as Niall Kilroy drops to the bench.

Diarmuid Murtagh, another U21 star, will make his first start of the league campaign at corner-forward. Donie Shine is the one to make way.

Throw-in at Croke Park is at 2pm.
