Former Galway United player Padraic Cunningham is among four Championship debutants for Galway's Connacht SFC quarter-final this weekend.
The multi-talented Headford-native gets the nod from Kevin Walsh to line-out at centre-forward against London, a year since he was approached by then Cork City manager John Caulfield about joining the 2017 Airtricity League champions.
Padraic Cunningham celebrates a goal for Galway United in 2017.
An Spidéal star Antaine O’Laoi, who also played at senior level for Galway United, lines out alongside Cunningham at wing-forward.
Mountbellew-Moylough's John Daly comes into the team at centre-back, where he joins his brother, Michael, in midfield. The pair are sons of former Galway manager and two-time All-Star Val Daly.
Moycullen corner-back David Wynne is the fourth debutant named to start by Walsh.
Two of Corofin's All-Ireland club champions make the team, Liam Silke and Ian Burke.
Burke is joined in the full-forward line by Shane Walsh and Danny Cummins.
