UNQUESTIONABLY Aaron Gillane has a keen eye for a goal.
The Hurler of the Year elect has bagged a hat-trick this season, with two of those coming at crucial stages in the All-Ireland semi-final defeat of a sometimes stubborn outfit in Galway at Croke Park.
The Patrickswell giant now has a stunning 3-42 to his credit in Championship 2023.
Gillane is a short-priced favourite to score the opening goal of today’s final. That’s not a surprise for a three-time All-Star who has grabbed an astonishing 25 goals and not far off 500 points since his introduction to the senior scene in Summer 2017 (against Clare).

- Attic: Up to €1,500 Grant
- Cavity Walls: Up to €1,700 Grant
- Internal Dry Lining: Up to €4,500 Grant
He is comfortably Limerick’s all-time highest scorer.
Last month, Gillane struck a match-winning 1-11 in the Munster Final defeat of Clare at a heaving Gaelic Grounds. He said modestly: “Sure a lot of them were frees. For the other ones, the guys put the ball on a plate for me. I just had to do the easy bit.”
He first came to prominence with the Ardscoil Rís Harty Cup winning team of 2014.
