Manus Breathnach and Tomas Flynn return to the Galway team for Sunday's Connacht SFC semi-final versus Mayo as manager Kevin Walsh makes three changes.

Breathnach, who missed the first round and quarter-final victories over New York and Leitrim because of a hand injury comes in between the posts for Brian O'Donoghue.

With Fiontán Ó Curraoin and captain Paul Conroy continuing in midfield, Flynn is included at left half-forward after making a full recovering from a knee injury.

Patrick Sweeney is also handed a starting berth in attack. The Killanin club man, who is a twin brother of corner-back Cathal, is the replacement for the injured Shane Walsh (broken hand) at centre-forward. Peadar Óg Ó Griofa is the other player to give way.

Galway (SF v Mayo) - Manus Breathnach; Johnny Duane, Finian Hanley, Cathal Sweeney; Liam Silke, Gary O'Donnell, Sean Denvir; Fiontán Ó Curraoin, Paul Conroy; Gary Sice, Patrick Sweeney, Tomas Flynn; Danny Cummins, Damien Comer, Michael Lundy.
