Roscommon senior football manager, Davy Burke, has made three changes to his team for Sunday’s crunch Division Two League game against Cavan at King and Moffatt Dr. Hyde Park.
The Rossies were comprehensive 14-point winners against Cork last time out, but Burke had freshened up his side for the visit of the in-form Breffni men.
Colm Neary, who impressed in the opening two rounds against Down and Louth, has recovered from injury and returns to the full-back line in place of Pearse Frost.
Shane Killoran comes into the half-forward line at Ben O’Carroll’s expense, while Conor Cox is handed his first start of the season at Ciarán Lennon's expense.
Daire Cregg, who was injured in the Sigerson Cup final, is named among the match-day 26, as is O’Carroll and Ciaráin Murtagh.
The Rossies need a win on Sunday to keep them on course for promotion.
