Lar carries the fight — on and off the pitch

HE has won almost every accolade in the game at club and county level yet there is no fear of complacency for Tipperary attacker Lar Corbett.

On Sunday the Premier County entertain Wexford in the final group game of the Allianz Hurling League and Corbett, if he wins his fight for fitness after damaging a hamstring while playing with his club Thurles Sarsfields at the weekend, will approach the game with the same focus he would an All-Ireland final.

He explained: “It’s all about your mindset and how you take these things in your stride, winning the All-Ireland and hurler of the year, whatever it is. You look back at these things when you retire but when you’re still playing, you’re going out marking a corner back against Wexford who doesn’t care what you did yesterday or the year before.
