Goalkeeper Gary Connaughton and corner back John Keane are back in the Westmeath side for tomorrow's Sunday's NFL Division Two semi-final tussle with Donegal Kingspan Breffni Park, throw-in 3.30pm.

Tubberclair clubman Connaughton was rested for the 2-08 to 1-08 win over Louth last Sunday with Cathal Mullins of Garrycastle starting.

Rosemount defender John Keane, a 2004 All-Star, is over a flu bug and gets the nod at left corner back, ahead of Steve Cleary.

Donal O'Donoghue retains his place at full-back despite suffering from a reoccurrence of a hamstring injury against Louth.

Both Westmeath and Donegal have bounced back up to Division One after being relegated last season.

WESTMEATH (NFL v Donegal): G Connaughton; C Davey, D O'Donoghue, J Keane; M Ennis, D Healy, G Glennon; D Duffy, D O'Shaughnessy; J Nugent, G Dolan, A Mangan; PJ Ward, D Glennon, D Dolan.
