In spite of scoring a goal and a point, Cork's defence of their provincial minor title ended with a semi-final defeat by Tipperary.
The Munster final that year pitted Cork against Tipperary and, once again, a close game was the result.
In 2009 O'Neill joined the Cork senior football panel in time for the start of the championship.
He was introduced as a substitute again in the subsequent Munster final against Limerick, closely followed by his club-mate Paul O'Flynn.
The game looked to be going away from Cork, however, 'the Rebels' fought back with O'Neill chipping in with a point.
Subsequent defeats of Donegal and Tyrone saw Cork qualify for an All-Ireland final showdown with Kerry.
The Kerry team stuck to their gameplan, helped in no small part by a Cork side that recorded fourteen wides.
A defeat by Kerry in a replay of the provincial semi-final resulted in Cork being exiled to the All-Ireland qualifiers.
After negotiating their way through a difficult series of games, Cork defeated Dublin to qualify for their third All-Ireland final in four years.
