Senan Kilbride returns to Roscommon's starting fifteen to face Sligo on Sunday as the only change made by joint-managers Fergal O'Donnell and Kevin McStay.

St Brigids veteran Kilbride replaces the injured Diarmuid Murtagh at right corner-forward for the Connacht SFC semi-final showdown with the Yeats County at Hyde Park.

Cathal Compton and Enda Smith are among a number of players who return to the bench after injury, however, Kilbride's brother Ian is still making his way back to full fitness.

The Ciaran Murtagh captained outfit dusted themselves down from their narrow escape in New York to hammer Leitrim by thirteen-points in Carrick-on-Shannon last time out.

The Rossies will be bidding to gain revenge for the surprise 1-14 to 0-13 defeat they suffered at the hands of the Yeats men at this stage twelve months ago under John Evans.

Roscommon (SFC v Sligo): Geoffrey Claffey; Sean McDermott, Neil Collins, Niall McInerney; John McManus, Sean Purcell, David Murray; Niall Daly, James McDermott; Fintan Cregg, Ciaran Murtagh, Conor Devaney; Senan Kilbride, Cathal Cregg, Donal Shine.

Subs: Darren O'Malley, Cathal Compton, Cathal Shine, David Keenan, Donal Smith, Enda Smith, Fergal Lennon, Niall Carty, Niall Kilroy, Sean Mullooly, Thomas Corcoran.
