Our last team of the day was the Grade Gs. They played Tipperary first and although all matches were very close, Tipperary came out on top with a 5-4 win. The Kerry team then beat Limerick 5 games to 4.
As Limerick had beaten Tipperary with a score of 5-4 as well, the scores were now even and it all came down to sets to see who got through to the final to play Waterford. Unfortunately for Kerry, Limerick won on sets, putting them through to the final.
