Roscommon senior football manager, Davy Burke, has made four changes to his starting 15 for Saturday evening’s Allianz Division One League game against All-Ireland champions, Dublin, at Croke Park.
Captain Brian Stack, Conor Hussey, Evan Flynn and Shane Cunnane are the changes from the side that shared the spoils against Galway at Dr. Hyde Park last time out.
It’s a first start of the season for Cunnane who was part of the St. Brigid’s side that were beaten by Glen in the recent All-Ireland club senior football final.
Daire Cregg, following a superb display for UCD in the Sigerson Cup final, is named at corner-forward.
As expected, there’s no Ben O’Carroll among the match-day 16, but Cathal Heneghan has recovered from injury to take his place on the bench.
