CORK FOOTBALLER COLM O’Neill will at last make his comeback from injury this weekend.
The Rebels face Clare in a McGrath Cup clash at Pairc Uí Rinn on Sunday (2pm).
O’Neill, of course, has endured a long road back to full fitness since he sustained a cruciate knee injury in a league with Galway last March.
The 2010 All-Ireland champions have endured a rash of similar injuries, with Ciarán Sheehan out for the time being with his own cruciate recuperation.
Manager Conor Counihan has named O’Neill – who plays his club football for Ballyclough - at corner forward. Aidan O’Reilly, Micheál Ó Laoire, Liam Shorten and Seanie Cahalane are four new names in an unfamiliar looking Cork side.
Cork (SF v Clare): K O’Halloran; E Cotter, R Carey, K Harrington; C O’Driscoll, G Canty, A O’Reilly; J Fitzpatrick, M Ó Laoire; F Lynch, F Goold, L Shorten; C O’Neill, S Cahalane, K O’Sullivan.
