Roscommon minor football manager, James Duignan, has made four changes to his team for this evening’s championship encounter against Sligo at Dr. Hyde Park (throw-in at 7 p.m.).
Anthony Cox, Seán McDonnell, Joe McKeon and Conor Kennedy come into the starting 15 in place of Liam Finneran, Gordon Casey, Declan Kennedy and Shay McGuinness from the team that comfortably defeated Leitrim last time out.
Roscommon, who finish up their round campaign this evening, are already assured of their place in the semi-final at least, which will be played in the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence on Friday, May 17th, following recent victories against Galway and Leitrim.
The other game this evening sees high-flying Mayo host Leitrim in Hastings Insurance MacHale Park.
