Two years later McGrath secured a second championship medal in the minor grade as Kilmacud defeated St. Vincent's by 2–11 to 2–6.
By 2012 McGrath was a member of the Kilmacud Crokes senior hurling team. That year he won a senior championship medal following a 2–10 to 0–9 defeat of Cuala.[1] It was Kilmacud's first championship title in twenty-seven years.
Inter-county
McGrath first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Dublin minor hurling team. Hen enjoyed little success in this grade before moving onto the county under-21 hurling team.
In 2011 McGrath won a Leinster medal with the under-21 hurlers, following a 1–18 to 0–11 defeat of Wexford.[2] Dublin later qualified for an All-Ireland showdown with Galway. A 3–14 to 1–10 defeat was McGrath's lot on that occasion.[3]
