O’Neill makes Rebel return despite injury doubts

CORK boss Denis Walsh last night made three changes for Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC semi-final against Kilkenny from the team that defeated Antrim in last month’s quarter-final tie.

Defensive duo Shane O’Neill and Sean Óg Ó hAilpín both return to the starting line-up having missed the victory over Antrim with Shane Murphy and Ray Ryan the two players dropping to the bench.

O’Neill is named at right corner-back, yet speculation persists he may be unable to start due to the hamstring injury which prevented him from returning to full team training until Tuesday night.
