Lar looks to be losing fitness battle

THERE are two major challenges occupying the mind of Tipperary hurler Lar Corbett this week.

One is Sunday’s Munster final in Pairc Uí Chaoimh against Cork - the other, this one more pressing, is the race against time to be fit for that game.

Corbett is probably one of the fastest men in hurling, a real sprinter, but that speed comes at a price - in the form of a troublesome hamstring.
