Cian Smith has named an unchanged team ahead of tomorrow’s Connacht U-20 final.
The Roscommon manager has entrusted the same players who dug out a 2-10 to 0-15 win over Galway last time out to tackle Mayo on Wednesday evening in Tuam Stadium at 7 p.m..
Patrick Gaynor starts in goal once more with Diarmuid O’Higgins, Michael Gillooly and Nikita Berzins ahead of him in defence.
Captain Eoghan Carthy is named at centre back while he is flanked by Keelan Kelly, who tracked Kobe McDonald when these sides met in Castlebar, and Conor Grogan.
Niall Heneghan and Cathal Enright resume their midfield partnership.
Dean Casey has been named at centre forward with Cathal McKeon and Eoin Collins either side of him. John Curran, Charlie O’Carroll and John McGuinness make up the full forward line.
Ruairí Kilcline has been named among the substitutes after his scoring salvo against Galway last time out.
Mark Carroll, Colin Murray, Ruadhan Henry, Kevin Hester, Kilcline, Stephen Tighe, Liam Finneran, David Higgins and Declan Kennedy are among the replacements who could be called into action.
