The game was held as the local club opened new facilities and McGrath tallied 2-5 in the first half, as Dublin's Colm Cronin posted 2-4.
McGrath missed the concluding stages of the Premier County's League campaign with a pelvic injury but his return last evening looks positive for taking part in Championship action this year…with a Munster Semi Final against Clare or Limerick next month.
The final score in Upperchurch was Dublin 2-22 Tipperary 3-18.
There was an addition to the Tipperary sideline team last evening with newly retired Paul Curran joining the backroom team.
Assistant Manager Mike Ryan says Paul is a great resource for them.
