Galway have made two changes to the side that hammered Antrim for Saturday's All-Ireland hurling championship qualifier against Limerick.
Centre-forward David Forde returns from injury, while Fergal Healy is drafted in at midfield as Galway also make a number of positional changes.
Healy's younger brother Niall is one of the players to lose out, while wing-back Ger Mahon, only drafted into the squad shortly before Galway's opening game in the championship against Laois, drops to the subs bench.
Mahon's place at wing-back will now be taken by David Collins, who drops back from the midfield berth he occupied during the facile victories over Laois and Antrim.
Forde's return from a stomach muscle injury sees Kevin Hayes switch from the forty to full-forward.
Conor Hayes and his selectors also welcome back last year¹s victorious minor captain John Lee, who has recovered from a finger injury suffered in a work accident and will be included among the substitutes.
Galway: L Donoghue (capt.); D Joyce, S Kavanagh, C Coen; D Collins, D Hardiman, O Canning; T Regan, F Healy; R Murray, D Forde, D Tierney; G Farragher, K Hayes, D Hayes.
