Are Cork getting the most out of Pearse O’Neill at centre-forward?

IF the football All Stars were being selected today, is there anyone going to raise an argument against a first GAA gong for Cork’s Pearse O’Neill at centre-forward? Didn’t think so.

Hell, in Friday’s pre-All-Ireland final special with this newspaper, I’m guilty of it myself.

But how good has O’Neill actually been this summer on the forty for Cork? He started it like a thunderbolt, scorching onto a slip pass (his speciality) from Paul Kerrigan and repeating the near-post misery he visited upon Kerry’s Diarmuid Murphy at Croke Park last year.
