Mayo manager Andy Moran has named a broadly experimental side for tomorrow’s FBD Final clash with Galway in Tuam.

It is the first of two games against the Tribesmen in the space of seven days and, likely with a nod to the league game in Salthill on Sunday week, Moran has rested a whole host of established players with 12 changes from the team that defeated Roscommon last Sunday.

The only three players to survive in the starting team are Ballina’s Liam Golden, Parke’s Cathal Keaveney and Diarmuid Duffy from Ballinrobe.

Experience comes in the likes of Stephen Coen, Sam Callinan and Jack Carney while John MacMonagle, picked at centre-half back, is named as captain.

Throw-in is scheduled for 1pm in Tuam Stadium. Tickets for the game can be purchased  here . For those unable to attend, the match will be streamed by Connacht GAA here .
