Cork lost out in their opening clash against Tipperary last Saturday night with O’Neill coming off the bench to shoot 1-1 in the second half.
O’Neill has been named at full-forward for the tie in Newry by manager Ronan McCarthy with Tom Clancy coming into the side at wing-back and Killian O’Hanlon named to start at midfield.
A notable positional change sees defender Kevin Crowley set to start at centre-forward while Matthew Taylor, Peter Kelleher and Cian Dorgan are all additions to the subs bench.

O'Neill starts at full-forward as Cork make 3 changes for trip to face Down
ATTACKER COLM O’NEILL returns to the starting side for Cork as part of three changes ahead of their trip to face Down in Division 2 of the Allianz football league on Sunday.
Cork lost out in their opening clash against Tipperary last Saturday night with O’Neill coming off the bench to shoot 1-1 in the second half.
O’Neill has been named at full-forward for the tie in Newry by manager Ronan McCarthy with Tom Clancy coming into the side at wing-back and Killian O’Hanlon named to start at midfield.
Daniel O’Callaghan and Stephen Sherlock drop to the bench while Sean Powter is sidelined with a hamstring injury that is set to rule him out for the rest of their league campaign.
