PÁDRAIC JOYCE has responded to last weekend’s Mayo humiliation by making a whopping eight changes to his Galway team for Sunday’s Allianz Football League showdown with Dublin. However, Joyce’s options have also been boosted by the availability of his previously self-isolating Moycullen crew, reflected in the inclusion of Seán Kelly and his younger brother Paul. Change is most pronounced in defence, with a switch of goalkeeper and four of the six backs also altered. Bernard Power returns between the posts, Seán Kelly, Seán Mulkerrin and James Foley form a completely revamped full-back line and Gary O’Donnell’s solid display upon his early introduction against Mayo is rewarded with a start at centre-back. GALWAY (NFL v Dublin): B Power; S Kelly, S Mulkerrin, J Foley; L Silke, G O’Donnell, J Heaney (capt); C D’Arcy, T Flynn; P Kelly, P Conroy, J Leonard; R Finnerty, A Varley, I Burke.
