Hurling stats

Lar Corbett scored 4-04 against Waterford in last year's Munster HF.  Is that the biggest ever individual tally for a Munster Hurling Final?  If not, who holds the record, or where could you find that information?

Not sure what 'modern record' implies.

"As in last year's All-Ireland final it was current Hurler of the Year Lar Corbett who performed the most lucrative banditry, this time ending with 4-4 from play, which betters the modern record set of 2-7 set by Mark Foley 21 years ago."

Speaking of hurling stats lads, has anyone come across any good stats packages/ apps that can be used for live feedback during games, just wondering as I have seen numerous footballing ones but have yet to see any decent hurling ones.

[Yeah]

It would have to be up there with one of the highest anyway!!

As you say Bord na Mona man, I am not too sure what a "modern record" means.  Probably a journalist who does not have a clue what the record is and takes a chance that it was a good few years since there was a higher score.  According to "The Complete Handbook of Gaelic Games", Mick Mackey scored 5-3 for Limerick in the 1936 Munster Final against Tipperary.  So the record score is not held by either Mark Foley or Lar Corbett.
