Team news: Galway manager Liam Sammon has tinkered with his starting line-up for Sunday's Connacht semi-final against Leitrim.
Perhaps mindful of last year's scare at the same stage, Sammon has opted against keeping faith with the same personnel that trounced Roscommon as the Tribesmen made their seasonal bow last month.
Instead, Nicky Joyce's comeback from injury sees him installed in the half forward line alongside cousin Padraig with Damien Dunleavy dropping out of the frame.
In midfield, Niall Coleman will play his part from the outset while Damien Burke comes in for the injured Kieran Fitzgerald at corner back.
Galway (SFC v Leitrim): P Doherty; G Bradshaw, F Hanley, D Burke; D Meehan, N Coyne, G Size; N Coleman, M Lydon; P Conroy, P Joyce, N Joyce; M Clancy, M Meehan, F Breathnach.
