Roscommon senior football manager, Davy Burke, has named his team for Sunday’s crunch Division Two League encounter against Westmeath at TEG Cusack Park, Mullingar (throw-in at 1.30 p.m.).
There are four changes to the side that started against Cavan with Colm Neary, Keith Doyle, Shane Killoran and Diarmuid Murtagh brought into the team in place of John McManus, Eddie Nolan, Ben O’Carroll and Conor Cox.
Nolan, O’Carroll and Cox are named among the substitutes but McManus isn’t involved in the match-day 26.
Despite Burke's comments that the league was over for the Rossies following last Sunday's defeat against Cavan, Roscommon still have a realistic chance of promotion if they beat Westmeath and results fall in their favour elsewhere.
The only team that has their destiny from Division Two in their own hands next Sunday is Monaghan if they beat or draw with Down.
