Revitalised Rebels star O’Neill has goals in mind

Cork’s Colm O’Neill is eager to make up for lost time by scoring more goals in 2014.

On Sunday against Tyrone, O’Neill raised his first green flag for the county since the 2012 All-Ireland semi-final loss to Donegal. In between, he has had to recuperate from a third cruciate ligament injury, but now he is fit again, he intends to make the most of it. His second-half strike put Cork three points up, and though they were held to a draw, they have still qualified for the semi-finals.

“Andrew O’Sullivan hand-passed me the ball,” O’Neill said, “I beat my man and was one-on-one, so I just hit it.
