Current Allianz Football League champions Cork have named a strong side for their trip to Armagh on Sunday.
Conor Counihan welcomes back Colm O'Neill for his first competitive outing in a Rebels jersey since injuring his cruciate in last year's League campaign. John Miskella (retired) and Daniel Goulding (injured) are two of only four changes to the Cork side that defeated Dublin in last year's League final.
The one big inclusion in the Armagh side this weekend sees Niall Geoghan retain his place in goal. The keeper impressed during the county's run in the McKenna Cup and with the Crossmaglen Rangers contingent absent sees Paul Hearty unavailable for selection.
Other players have been given their opportunity due to Cross' All-Ireland Club semi-final against Dr Crokes later this month. Paul Carville and Eugene McVerry start in the corner forward positions while John Kingham will tog at midfield.
Cork (SF v Armagh): K O’Halloran; R Carey, M Shields, E Cadogan; N O’Leary, G Canty, P Kissane; A O’Connor, P O’Neill; F Goold, P Kelly, C O’Driscoll; C O’Neill, D O’Connor, P Kerrigan.

Seamus O'Shea comes into the Mayo side in place of his brother Aidan in a straight swap ahead of their game against Laois on Sunday. Barry Moran is moved to full forward with Patrick Harte lines out at centre field alongside O'Shea.
Mayo (SF v Laois): D Clarke; L Keegan, G Cafferkey, K Higgins, P Gardiner; D Vaughan, R Feeney, S O'Shea; P Harte; K McLoughlin, A Freeman, A Dillon; C Mortimer, B Moran, A Moran.
Following their Dr McKenna Cup win last weekend, Tyrone have made two changes for their Division II tie with Kildare at Croke Park. The injured Colm Cavanagh is replaced by Joe McMahon at midfield while Pascal McConnell takes over from John Devine in goal.
Meanwhile, Kieran McGeeney has named an unchanged side for their showdown with Tyrone. The same XV that defeated Dublin in the O'Byrne Cup a fortnight ago will take to the field against Mickey Harte's side.
