McGrath has also lined out for Dublin in both the minor and under-21 grades and has enjoyed some success. He has won one Leinster medal as a member of the Dublin under-21 team.

At club level McGrath is a two-time county club championship medalist with Kilmacud Crokes.

Séan divides his time between Gaelic games and his other passion which is the pursuit of Irish freedom. He has been coy about whether he is a member of any paramilitary organisation, however, suspicions were raised when he was seen leaving a farmhouse in rural Co. Fermanagh with well known members of the INLA.

Playing career

Club

McGrath plays his club hurling with Kilmacud Crokes and has enjoyed much success.

After coming to prominence in various juvenile grades, McGrath was a member of the Kilmacud minor hurling team in 2007. He won his first minor championship medal that year following a comprehensive 1-11 to 0-5 defeat of Na Fianna.

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 key 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]
