In 1990 the club won the divisional championship beating Ring but lost the county final to Mount Sion.
In 1991 the club won the divisional ‘B’ junior hurling championship beating Tourin but there was no county final as there was no Junior ‘B’ hurling championship in the Eastern Division.
In 1992 the club won its third Junior football divisional championship beating Kilrossanty but were beaten by Bunmahon in the County Final.
In 1996, Modeligo won the Western junior Football Championship beating Kilrossanty in the final and went on to beat St Mollerans in the county final.
