Career

In 2007 O'Neill was a member of the Tipperary minor team that won the Munster Minor final by 0-18 to 1-11 against Cork.[1] Tipperary subsequently defeated Kilkenny to qualify for the All-Ireland final. Cork, the defeated Munster finalists, provided the opposition and a high-scoring game developed over the course of the hour. At the full-time whistle Tipperary were the champions by 3-14 to 2-11.[2]

On 28 July 2010, O'Neill was a non playing substitute as Tipperary defeated Clare in the 2010 Munster Under-21 Hurling final at Semple Stadium, winning by 1–22 to 1–17.[3] On 11 September 2010, he came on as a substitute as Tipperary clinched the All Ireland Under-21 title by defeating Galway by 5–22 to 0–12 at Semple Stadium.[4]

He made his senior Tipperary debut in the first round of the league on 12 February 2011 against Kilkenny, scoring a point in a 1-10 to 1-17 defeat at Semple Stadium.[5] In his second game against Dublin at Croke Park a week later he scored a goal and two points.[6]
