Roscommon minor football manager, Shane Moran, has named his team for Friday evening's Connacht MFC contest against Galway at King and Moffatt Dr. Hyde Park (throw-in at 5.30 p.m.).

There is one change from last week's team, with Jayden Concannon from St. Aidan's coming into the team at full-forward for Rossa O'Dowd — the scorer of Roscommon's goal during last week's narrow victory against Sligo.

Tadgh Fallon captains the team from full-back, while Dara Kelleher, Jack Brooks and Enda Browne will be hoping to provide a platform for the home side from the half-back line.

Jack Lally and Seamie Carthy continue their partnership in the middle of the field, while Jayden Jennings is selected to start at centre-forward.

Galway enjoyed a comfortable victory against Leitrim in the opening round, and are considered one of the favourites for this year's provincial championship.
