Damien Comer and Seán Kelly named in Galway team

Galway captain Seán Kelly and key forward Damien Comer have been named in the Tribe team for Sunday's All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final clash with Mayo at Pearse Stadium.

The game, to be broadcast live on RTÉ2, will be a season-ended for one of the Connacht heavyweights and, barring any late changes, Pádraic Joyce has included both players.

Kelly had played a starring role in Galway’s one-point All-Ireland group game loss to Armagh last week, but was forced off in the final moment through what looked like an ankle injury.

Comer, meanwhile, had been named to play against the Orchard County but was replaced before throw-in by Cathal Sweeney and didn’t appear. Nor did Dylan McHugh, who was replaced by Billy Mannion, but he has been included in the squad for this weekend’s encounter.

Galway: Connor Gleeson; Johnny McGrath, Seán Kelly, Jack Glynn; Cian Hernon, John Daly, Cillian McDaid; Paul Conroy, John Maher; Matthew Tierney, Peter Cooke, Johnny Heaney; Ian Burke, Damien Comer, Shane Walsh
