Career edit
Grace first came to prominence at juvenile and underage levels with the Silvermines club in Dolla.[1] He was just 17-years-old when he lined out with the club's senior team that won the North Tipperary Championship title in 1974.[2] Grace's performances for the club brought him to the attention of the Tipperary minor team selectors. After two years in that grade he preogressed onto the under-21 team and won a Munster Under-21 Championship title in 1978.[3] Grace lined out with the Tipperary senior hurling team at various times between 1979 and 1984.[citation needed]
