Corbett: Horses better treated than hurlers

Lar Corbett has claimed horses are treated better than the best hurling club teams in the country.

The 2010 hurler of the year, whose Thurles Sarsfields face Kilcormac-Killoughey in Portlaoise on Saturday, has criticised the timing of the All-Ireland senior semi-finals in early February.

“Every field in Ireland is nearly unplayable — they’re calling off race meetings but hurling matches? Play away,” said the Tipperary veteran.
