Galway and Armagh announce sides for All-Ireland quarter-finals

PADRAIC JOYCE AND Kieran McGeeney have named their respective Galway and Armagh teams for this weekend’s All-Ireland senior quarter-finals.

Galway’s team is unchanged from last Sunday’s victory over Down with Conor Flaherty again named in goal and Shane Walsh, who departed with an injury in Newry, selected at full-forward.

Jack Glynn, Peter Cooke, Johnny Heaney, and Damien Comer front a strong list of substitutes for the game against Meath on Sunday, (1.45pm, RTÉ 2).

Armagh are back in action on Sunday when they face Kerry, (4pm, RTÉ 2), for the first time since their round-robin loss against Galway two weeks ago, having already secured top spot before that game.

Ben Crealey, Rory Grugan, and Oisín Conaty all return to the starting line-up, while Cian McConville, Jason Duffy, and Conor Turbitt are named on the bench.

Monaghan have named Jack McCarron and Gavin McPhillips to start for tomorrow’s qurter-final against Donegal, (4pm, GAA+).

Killian Lavelle and Stephen Mooney move to the bench, while Gary Mohan is a notable inclusion amongst the replacements.
