Mayo starlet Kobe McDonald is in line for his first senior championship start when the Westerners take on Roscommon in the Connacht SFC semi-finals this Sunday.

The Crossmolina Deel Rovers clubman has been named at left corner-forward for the Castlebar clash, having impressed in recent league outings against Monaghan and Armagh.

The teenager is set to depart to Australia later this year after signing a rookie contract with AFL side St Kilda.

Mayo boss Andy Moran has named him to start against the Rossies in one of four changes to the team which defeated London two weeks ago, with Enda Hession, Conor Loftus and Jordan Flynn also coming into the starting team.

Throw-in at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park is at 4pm.
