Colm O’Neill has given Cork a fighting chance of beating Kerry in the Munster final, provided they have the courage to ‘‘go after Kerry and go for the jugular”.

Serious knee injuries blighted Colm O’Neill’s inter-county career, but instead of focusing on the negatives or his misfortune, the recently retired All-Ireland winning attacker still prefers to concentrate on the positives and fond memories from his time as a Cork footballer.

Cork manager Ronan McCarthy has described Colm O’Neill, who yesterday announced his retirement from inter-county football, as “one of the greatest forwards” Cork ever produced.
