Corbett does talking on the pitch for Thurles

Thurles Sarsfields (Tipperary) 2-12 Kilmallock (Limerick) 0-15

To say that the last couple of months have been difficult for the 2010 Hurler of the Year would be an understatement.

For many, he was the scapegoat following Tipperary’s 19-point defeat against Kilkenny in the All-Ireland semi-final back in August. Some don’t even want him back in the blue but when Corbett’s on his game, he’s still one of the finest forwards in the country. And after announcing on television last Friday night that he’s available for selection in 2013, he gave new Tipp boss Eamon O’Shea some food for thought in Kilmallock.
