Roscommon have made four changes in personnel for Sunday's Connacht SFC quarter-final against Leitrim at Pairc Sean Mac Diarmada.

Sean Purcell and David Murray come into the defence for Sean Mullooly and David Keenan following the narrow 1-15 to 0-17 defeat of New York earlier this month.

James McDermott replaces Cathal Compton in midfield and Donal Shine returns to the full-forward line at the expense of Cian Connolly.

Kevin McStay and Fergal O'Donnell's side survived an almighty scare in the preliminary round at Gaelic Park to advance to this clash with their neighbours in Carrick-on-Shannon.

Roscommon (SFC v Leitrim): Geoffrey Claffey; Sean McDermott, Neil Collins, Niall McInerney; John McManus, Sean Purcell, David Murray; Niall Daly, James McDermott; Fintan Cregg, Ciaran Murtagh, Conor Devaney; Diarmuid Murtagh, Cathal Cregg, Donal Shine.

Subs: Darren O'Malley, Brian Murtagh, Cathal McHugh, Cathal Shine, David Keenan, Fergal Lennon, Niall Carty, Ronan Daly, Sean Mullooly, Senan Kilbride, Thomas Corcoran.
