In an effort to rejuvenate the club at this time, the name was changed to its present name St Mogue in honour of the saint to whom the parish is dedicated.

The All Ireland Junior final was played in Croke Park on Sunday 4 February 2018, but Fethard were defeated after Extra Time by Ardmore of Waterford.
