Leitrim manager Brendan Guckian has made one change to his side for Saturday evening's Connacht senior football championship semi-final against Roscommon.

Dean McGovern of Ballinamore Sean O'Heslin's comes in at centre-field in place of Domhnaill Flynn, having made a significant impact as a substitute in the one-point extra time victory over New York at Gaelic Park three-and-a-half weeks ago.

Elsewhere, things stay the same in Guckian's line-up with Mark Plunkett partnering McGovern in the middle, Keith Byrne leading the attack from full-forward and Emlyn Mulligan starting on 'the 40'.

Throw-in at Pairc Sean Mac Diarmada in Carrick-on-Shannon is at 5.30pm.

Leitrim (Connacht SFC v Roscommon): Diarmuid McKiernan; Paddy Maguire, Micheál McWeeney, Oisin Madden; James Rooney, Donal Wrynn, Shane Quinn; Mark Plunkett, Dean McGovern; Jack Heslin, Emlyn Mulligan, Ryan O'Rourke; Darragh Rooney, Keith Beirne, Brendan Gallagher.

Subs: Gary Hickey, Noel Plunkett, Alan Armstrong, Domhnaill Flynn, Aidan Flynn, Eoin Ward, Colm Moreton, Damien Moran, James Mitchell, Keith Keegan, Nicholas McWeeney, Conor Gaffney, Ronan Kennedy, Caillian McGloin, Matthew Murphy
