Galway boss Micheal Donoghue has handed debuts to two newcomers for this afternoon's Walsh Cup final clash with Wexford in Bellefield.

Joe Mooney (Loughrea) and Jarlath Mannion (Cappataggle) are set to make their inter-county senior bows at wing-back and corner-forward respectively.

Meanwhile, talisman Joe Canning returns to the starting line-up for the first time since last August's All-Ireland final defeat to Limerick after coming off the bench to score a match-winning sideline cut against Dublin last weekend.

Galway (Walsh Cup final v Wexford): Fergal Flannery; Jack Grealish, Ronan Burke, Aidan Harte; Kevin Hussey, Padraic Mannion, Joseph Mooney; Cathal Mannion, Sean Kilduff; Ronan O’Meara, Joe Canning, Jack Coyne; Jarlath Mannion, Sean Bleahene, David Glennon.
