He's back: Lar Corbett returns to Tipperary panel

The player had originally quit playing for the county, saying he wanted to focus on business and work commitments.

TIPPERARY HURLING STAR Lar Corbett is set to return to the county’s senior panel, it has been announced.

Last February, Corbett said he would not be making himself available for his side’s 2012/2013 Championship campaign, explaining that he instead wanted to focus on business and work commitments.

However, a statement from the county today confirmed that the player is set for an immediate return to training.

The statement, released on the county’s official website, read:

“Tipperary Senior Hurling Manager Declan Ryan and Tipperary County Board are pleased to announce the return of Lar Corbett to the Tipperary Senior Hurling panel.

“Over the last few months Lar has been heavily involved in developing his business activities and is now once again in a position to give the necessary commitment to being a member of the panel. Lar will recommence training with the panel immediately.”

Corbett is considered one of the county’s star players, having helped them win two All-Ireland Championships, in addition to garnering three All-Star awards.

    The fact that Gurley went 10th after tearing his ACL last season shows just how good he is. Rams have themselves an absolute steal if they get him firing on all cylinders again!

    Glad Chargers got Gordon but was no need to trade up. 49ers and Texans didn’t need him. Gurley with his ACL could go either way. That kinda injury is hard to recover from especially as a RB.

    Terrell Davis (Broncos ) and Ronnie Brown (Dolphins ) are the flip side of debate. Went from 1000 yds per season to never being the same again.

    Look at Frank Gore as well, he had awful trouble coming out of Miami but turned into one of the NFL’s most consistent runners.

    They don’t have a pick till today due to the Jimmy Graham trade. Do your research!
