Lar Corbett
Laurence Corbett (born 16 March 1981) is an Irish former hurler who played for Tipperary Championship club Thurles Sarsfields. He played for the Tipperary senior hurling team for 15 years, during which time he usually lined out as a left corner-forward. Noted for his deadly accuracy in front of goal, Corbett is regarded as one of Tipperary's all-time greatest forwards.
Corbett began his hurling career at club level with Thurles Sarsfields. He broke onto the club's top adult team as a minor and enjoyed his first senior success in 2005 when Thurles Sarsfields won the Tipperary Senior Championship. Corbett won a further seven championship titles as well a Munster Club Championship in 2012.
At inter-county level, Corbett joined the Tipperary senior team in 2000, having earlier lined out with the Tipperary under-21 team. From his debut, he was ever-present as an inside forward and made a combined total of 119 National League and Championship appearances in a career that ended with his last game in 2015. During that time Corbett was part of two All-Ireland Championship-winning teams – in 2001 and 2010. He also secured six Munster Championship medals and two National Hurling League medals. Corbett announced his retirement from inter-county hurling on 18 November 2015.
Corbett won the first of three successive All-Stars in 2009 and made a clean sweep of the individual Hurler of the Year awards in 2010. He was Tipperary's record championship goal-scorer, having scored 29 goals in 61 appearances, but has been surpassed by Séamus Callanan in recent years. At inter-provincial level, Corbett was selected to play in three championship campaigns with Munster and won Railway Cup medals in 2007 and 2013.
Corbett joined the Thurles Sarsfields club at a young age and played in all grades at juvenile and underage levels. He enjoyed championship successes in the minor and under-21 grades before joining the club's senior team.
On 15 October 2000, Corbett was selected at right wing-forward when he lined out in his first Tipperary Senior Championship final. He scored a point from play but ended the game on the losing side after a 2–10 to 0–11 defeat by Toomevara.
Corbett lined out in a second successive final on 11 November 2001. He was held scoreless throughout the entire game and ended the game as a runner-up for the second year in-a-row after the 1–22 to 1–13 defeat by Toomevara.
For the third year in succession Thurles Sarsfields qualified for the final on 3 November 2002. Corbett scored three points from left corner-forward in the 0-14 apiece draw with Mullinahone. He was switched to centre-forward for the replay on 10 November 2002 but was held scoreless in the 2–10 to 1–11 defeat.
