Galway manager Padraic Joyce has made one change to his side for Sunday afternoon’s Connacht SFC final against Mayo.

The sole change sees Cathal Sweeney come into the half-forward line for this western derby at Croke Park in place of Finnian Ó Laoi.

Elsewhere, things stay the same for the Tribesmen from their provincial semi-final win over Roscommon last time out, which means Damien Comer is again named at right half-forward and Shane Walsh leading the attack from full-forward.

Galway will be looking to avoid a third consecutive provincial final defeat having lost out to Mayo last year and to Roscommon at the same stage in 2019.

Throw-in at headquarters is at 1.30pm.

Galway (Connacht SFC final v Mayo): Connor Gleeson; Sean Kelly, Sean Mulkerrin, Liam Silke; Kieran Molloy, Dylan McHugh, Johnny Heaney; Paul Conroy, Matthew Tierney; Damien Comer, Peter Cooke, Cathal Sweeney; Robert Finnerty, Shane Walsh, Paul Kelly
