O’Neill set for Cork return

CORK attacker Colm O’Neill is poised to make his inter-county comeback during next month’s McGrath Cup competition after being sidelined since March with a torn cruciate ligament.

O’Neill suffered the injury for the second time in four years during a National League tie against Galway at Pearse Stadium and missed the remainder of Cork’s league and championship campaign.

But the 2009 All-Ireland U21 winning captain has recovered and will be in the frame when Cork make their 2012 debut with a quarter-final against Clare or UL on Sunday January 15.
