Hockey Codes

Lar Corbett, whose given name is Laurence, is an Irish former hurler born in 1981 who played club hurling for Thurles Sarsfields and spent 15 years with the Tipperary senior team, usually at left corner-forward. He was noted for deadly accuracy in front of goal and is regarded as one of Tipperary's greatest forwards. He joined the Tipperary senior panel in 2000, made 119 league and championship appearances before his last game in 2015, and won All-Ireland medals in 2001 and 2010, six Munster medals and two National League medals. In the 2010 final he scored a hat-trick of goals against Kilkenny and swept all three Hurler of the Year awards. With Thurles Sarsfields he won eight county titles and a Munster club title, and he opened a pub in Thurles in 2011.
