After many close-calls in county finals, Palatine finally won their fourth Senior
Football Championship after a 54-year wait, defeating Kildavin-Clonegal in the 2006 final by 1–9 to 0–11. Palatine led early on in the game, thanks in large part to a goal from Paul Reid. However, Kildavin-Clonegal had

In 2007, aiming for a second ever two-in-a-row, they drew 0–10 to 1–7 with their town rivals, with Simon Rea kicking a late free to secure a replay for Éire Óg. The town team won the replay easily, 4–9 to 1–9. It was a similar story in 2008, with

After relegation to Junior level following a dispute with the County Board (following a game with
Milford in the early 1930s), Palatine won the Carlow Junior championship in 1936 and the Intermediate championship in 1938. They were re-graded back down to Intermediate again for the 1940 season, and

But their young team came good for them eventually, with captain Jason Kane leading Palatine to back-to-back championships for the second time ever in 2015 and 2016. In 2015, they defeated Old Leighlin 2–12 to 2–8 in the final. Aidan Murphy was named player of the year for the club.
