three appearances in Senior championship finals resulted in defeats by Éire Óg. 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 Palatine in a position to win the first day, before eventually losing in a replay. It finished 1-10 apiece in the first game, with Éire Óg coming out on top the next day, 2–9 to 0–11. In the 2012 final, Palatine were never really in the game, losing 0–15 to 0–5. 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. In the first round of the Leinster club championship, they were beaten by Laois champions Portlaoise, 0–15 to 1–9. In the 2016 county final, they defeated Rathvilly 2–13 to 0–12.

In the 2016 Leinster Club championship, they were defeated by Dublin champions St. Vincents, 0–16 to 0–8. Palatine lost their county championship when Eire Og defeated them in the 2017 semi-final. The town team who again got the better of them in 2018, when they defeated them in the county final by 0–9 to 0–5. The teams were all square at the break in the 2018 final, at 0-4 apiece. But Eire Og had much the better of the second half, and with county player Ciaran Moran missing the game through injury, and having lost main score-getter Shane O'Neill early on in an off-the-ball incident, Pal struggled to get on the scoreboard after half-time. Eire Óg beat Palatine in a county final yet again in 2019, this time on a scoreline of 1–16 to 0–5. Since winning the county championship in 2006 for the first time in 54 years, Palatine have lost 5 county finals, all to Eire Og. 2 of those were in replays. (They have, however, won two county finals in that period, against Old Leighlin and Rathvilly). Palatine won their seventh Senior
