It is semi-final time in the All-Ireland U20 Football championship, with both games on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n
The celebrations may not have stopped in Roscommon after their Connacht final victory at the weekend, as they take on Kerry.<\/p>\n
Kerry will call on players with senior experience for this clash, with Tom\u00e1s Kennedy, who scored two points in the Munster final win over Cork, named to start.<\/p>\n
M\u00e1irt\u00edn McKivergan and Killian Dennehy, who both started the Munster final,\u00a0 are replaced by Mark O’Carroll of Dr Crokes and Austin Stacks’ Ronan Carroll.<\/p>\n
For Roscommon, the only change from the side that defeated Mayo in the Connacht final is Colin Murray for Conor Grogan<\/p>\n
In the other semi-final, Tyrone will be aiming for their third straight U20 title when they take on 2023 winners Kildare.<\/p>\n
