Aaron Gillane provides touch of genius to create Peter Casey goal

Jack O'Toole

Limerick 2-26 Tipperary 2-14

Limerick forward Aaron Gillane has been a revelation for the Shannonsiders ever since he broke into the county’s starting side in 2017.

Gillane terrorised opposition defences last year en route to an All-Ireland final win and he’s showed no signs of slowing down this season with a brilliant turn and pass to set up Peter Casey.

Gillane received the ball down the left sideline and in one foul swoop turned his defender, cut inside and found Casey near goal.

Mary I’s Fitzgibbon manager Jamie Wall told SportsJOE last year that Gillane was quickly turning into the complete forward and that he could do it all at the top of the line.

“He took his scores well, he had that rare ability to win his own dirty ball while at the same time knowing what to do with it when he got it. He knew where the goals were, he knew when to pass, he had the pace to get away from lads, the strength as well, he had it all.”
