Confused Corbett lost for answers

Lar Corbett came out to face the press with the scars of battle clearly visible, but he was honest to a fault. Invited to work his way through the fall-out, he was frank enough to point to Kilkenny’s goal tally.

“Hard to know when you’re in the middle of it, to know where it went wrong. There wasn’t much in it at half-time, we were battling well. Where did it fail for us? I don’t know. That’s a question for us.

“They got a few goals, and goals win games – you’ve seen that between Tipp and Kilkenny in the last few years. Goals win games.”
