Galway football manager Kevin Walsh has made four changes to his side for Sunday's Connacht semi final with Sligo. Bernard Power, Kieran Molloy, Gareth Bradshaw and Fiontán Ó Curraoin all come into a side given a fright by London in the quarter finals.
Power replaces Ruairi Lavelle in goal, while Molloy and Bradshaw are introduced to the half-back line in place of David Wynne and Gary O’Donnell. The other change sees Ó Curraoin introduced to midfield in place of Padraic Cunningham.
Galway were far from impressive in reaching the semi finals, with a 0-16 to 1-9 win over London in Ruislip earlier this month.

With regular net-minder Aidan Devaney absent through injury, Eamonn Kilgannon starts in goal for Sligo. Manager Paul Taylor has named a side that shows ten differences from the one that played Galway at the same stage of last year's Championship.
Sunday's game has a 3.30 throw-in at Markievicz Park.
