O'Neill's Rebel return

January 13, 2012

Cork's Colm O'Neill
Colm O'Neill makes his much-anticipated Cork return this weekend.

The Rebel County attacker has been sidelined for ten months after suffering cruciate ligament damage, but has been named by Conor Counihan in the starting XV for Sunday's McGrath Cup quarter-final against Clare at Pairc Ui Rinn.

He is picked at right corner forward for what will be his first intercounty appearance since the Division One meeting with Galway last March.

Another man making a comeback is Kevin O'Sullivan, who will feature for the Leesiders for the first time since March 2009.

There are four debutants in the Cork team (announced on hoganstand.com last night): wing back Aidan O'Reilly, midfielder Micheál Ó Laoire, wing forward Liam Shorten and full forward Seanie Cahalane will all pull on the red jersey at senior intercounty level for the first time.
