Roscommon senior hurling manager, Kevin Sammon, has named his team for this evening’s Connacht Hurling League quarter-final against Sligo at the University of Galway Connacht GAA Air Dome (throw-in at 5 p.m.).
It will be the Clare native’s first competitive game in charge of the Rossies.
There are five players from county champions Four Roads on the starting 15 — full-back James Dillon, centre-back Jimmy Hoey alongside forwards Liam Óg Coyle, Adam Donnelly and Cormac Mulry.
