They won their second title in 1968 beating Walterstown in the final 3-17 to 1-04. They won their third and most recent Senior Football Championship in 1991, when they defeated Walterstown again in the final by 1-12 to 1-06, Terry Ferguson captaining the side that day, with Eugene McGillick picking up the Man of the Match award. The club has won the Meath Intermediate Hurling Championship four times, most recently in 2008.
