The Group 4 game was much closer, Clane were captained by the Limerick man ,Kevin Robinson and he lead by example .Sarsfields had been unbeaten all year as had Clane so the winners would be top of the table.Clane started well and were 2 points up in the first quarter. Hugh Lonergan scored one of the points and was playing well in the forwards. However Sarsfields equalised by the end of the second quarter to leave the score tied at 2-2 at half time.
