Corbett a fan of revamped hurling championship format

Former Tipperary star Lar Corbett believes the revamped All-Ireland senior hurling championship will be good for the game — so long as there are no dead rubber contests.

A round-robin format is coming to the provincial competitions for the first time this summer, and Tipperary will play home games in Munster against Cork next May and versus Clare in June.

The two-time All-Ireland winner will be keeping a close eye on the crowds for the home ties as he owns a bar in Thurles.
