Roscommon have recalled right-half back David Casey to their side to face Leitrim in the Connacht football semi-final in Carrick-on-Shannon on Sunday.

Casey was unable to start in the replay win over Sligo due to injury, but came on for Nigel Dineen during extra-time of that game. Roscommon boss Tommy Carr is obviously happy with Casey's fitness and has picked him ahead of John Rogers.

Carr has also made a couple of positional switches with Frankie Dolan and Dineen trading places. Dolan will start on the '40', while Dineen moves inside to the corner. Elsewhere, Gary Cox and Brian Higgins swap wing-forward positions.

Roscommon (SF v Leitrim): S Curran, J Whyte, M Ryan, J Nolan, D Casey, F Grehan, P Noone, S O'Neill, S Lohan, B Higgins, F Dolan, G Cox, N Dineen, K Mannion, G Heneghan.
