The Galway senior football team sees just one change from the side that beat Tyrone for Sunday's (25th February 2024) National League Round 4 encounter with Derry.

Cein D'Arcy comes into the first 15, replacing the injured Matthew Tierney.

But in good news for Padraic Joyce's charges, St. James' Paul Conroy is fit enough to start, while Claregalway's Jack Glynn is included in the matchday 26.

The team in full:

Connor Gleeson in goal;

A full back line of Johnny McGrath, Seán Fitzgerald and Seán Mulkerrin;

Dylan McHugh, captain John Daly and Kieran Molloy are the half backs;

Paul Conroy partners John Maher in midfield;

Johnny Heaney, Cein D'Arcy and Cathal Sweeney are on the '40;

And an inside line of Robert Finnerty, Cillian Ó Curraoin and Liam Ó Conghaile.

After the team was announced, Galway Bay FM's  Jonathan Higgins joined Darren Kelly on 'Over The Line.'

The Galway senior hurling team will be announced on 'Over The Line' this Friday (23rd) around 8pm.

Following their victory over Tyrone last week, Galway's senior footballers welcome in-form Derry in Round 4 of the National League  on Sunday (25th Feburary - 1.45pm Pearse Stadium).

It's their first meeting since the 2022 All-Ireland semi-final when 2-2 from Damien Comer secured the Tribesmen a 2-8 to 1-6 victory in Croke Park.

Galway were also 4-11 to 0-12 winners in their last meeting in the National League up in Owenbeg in Division 2 in 2022.  Matthew Tierney, Dessie Conneally, Damien Comer and Tomo Culhane got the goals that day.

The last time the Oak Leaf County visited Galway was in 2017 when the hosts again reigned supreme by 5-15 to 2-15 in Tuam Stadium with goals from Eamonn Brannigan, Johnny Heaney, Danny Cummins, Tom Flynn and Shane Walsh.

Derry's last victory over Galway in the league was in Pearse Stadium in 2010 by 2-13 to 1-12.

But the Ulster champions are a different proposition now with maximum points from their three outings so far following a McKenna Cup success and Mickey Harte's charges will be favourites to maintain their unbeaten run.

Leading up to the game, former Derry captain Johnny McBride joined Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly on 'Over The Line.'
