Davy Burke has made a raft of changes to the Roscommon starting 15 for Saturday afternoon’s opening round game in the Group Phase of the All-Ireland SFC.

There are seven changes to the starting 15 that were soundly beaten by Galway in the Connacht semi-final last month.

Senan Lambe, Ronan Daly, John McManus, Keith Doyle, Dylan Ruane, Conor Hand and Daire Cregg come into the starting 15.

Pearse Frost, Colm Neary, Shane Cunnane, Diarmuid Murtagh, who started against the Tribesmen, are named among the substitutes.

Ruaidhrí Fallon, Ultan Harney and Cian McKeon, who also started the 1-24 to 0-18 defeat against Galway, aren’t part of the match-day 26.

Meanwhile, Kerry have also named their starting 15. Jack O’Connor’s side contains a host of household names, although Paudie Clifford, who served a one-match suspension against Clare in the Munster final, isn’t part of the match-day 26.
