The final group games were played across the country as the All-Ireland quarter and semi-finalists now face into the knockout stages.

2016 and 2017 All-Ireland finalists, or the ‘big two’ Cork and Kilkenny earned clear paths to the last four as they topped their respective groups in emphatic fashion, both clocking victories in each and every one of their games.

Elsewhere, Waterford, Tipperary, Dublin and Galway booked semi-final spots with all four sides set for a Páirc Uí Chaoimh double-header on Saturday 4 August (live on RTÉ).
