Eoin McGrath

Eoin McGrath (born 2 November 1980) is an Irish hurler who played as a left corner-forward for the Waterford senior team.

[1] Son of former hurler Pat and younger brother of current selector Ken, McGrath was a stalwart on the Waterford team for a decade.

[8] McGrath joined the Waterford senior team during the 2001 National Hurling when he came on as a substitute against Tipperary, however, he played no part in the subsequent championship.

In 2007 McGrath added a National Hurling League medal to his collection when Waterford defeated Kilkenny by 0–20 to 0–18 in the final.

2008 began poorly for Waterford as the team lost their opening game to Clare as well as their manager Justin McCarthy.

In spite of this poor start McGrath's side reached the All-Ireland final for the first time in forty-five years.

A 2–15 apiece draw was the result on that occasion, however, Waterford went on to win the replay after an extra-time goal by Dan Shanahan.
