Domestically, it was an historic season for O'Grady and his St Eunan's team-mates. They caused a huge upset back in October by dethroning kingpins Setanta — a victory that delivered the Letterkenny club its first SHC title since 1972. O'Grady skippered the Black and Amber to that first championship win in half a century and he admits that the emotions from that massive achievement are still lingerng.
