Aaron Gillane says the historic free-taking competition at the end of Limerick and Clare's HL quarter-final was scary.

When the teams couldn't be separated after 100 minutes of hurling on Monday, a shootout took place from the 65-metre line to determine who would advance to the last four. Even this went to sudden death.

"It's probably better as well for the players who don't take the free," Gillane, who slotted both his frees at the end as well as registering 2-11 in the match itself, told The Irish Times. "It must be entertaining for them. But us taking them out there, it is scary, very scary.

"But it's something different and I don't really mind it. You feel like the best man in the world if you've scored it, but then if you have to come off after missing it, then it's a different story."
