May 9 2009 Town denied League and Cup double
Disappointment for Town's U9A side, beaten 2-1 by a good Enniskerry A side in a close Arklow Town FC Juniors Cup Final, played at Rathnew's Shamrock Park.  The Arklow side pipped Enniskerry to the League title earlier this season and both sides provided an entertaining encounter, arguably a game of two halves, with Clive Keenan opening the scoring, for Town, with a wonderful right foot volley into the top right corner beyond the Enniskerry keeper.  Two second half goals though from the Bog Meadow side ensured the cup, sponsored by Arklow Town FC, headed due north and not "home".

Apr 25 2009 National Cup heartbreak for Town
Arklow Town's dream of SFAI U16 Barry Cup success was ended at Corinthian Park, in Cork, when facing College Corinthians in a dramatic quarter final clash.  Town, as ever, do things the hard way and with the draw for this year's National Cup seeing Town drawn to play away in every round of the competition, it was always going to be a tough ask.  Unfortunately, the dream of lifting a National title ended at this quarter final stage with a cruel exit, in extra time, going down to a last gasp winner for the home side after the eighty minutes had finished 1-1, with Dara Verney netting for Town.

Dec 20 2008  Town put on champion display to lift title
After the minor disappointment seven days previously, at the Leisure Centre, when the same two sides met, Arklow Town U9A's spurning an opportunity to lift the title at home, being held to a 2-2 draw, the Town side duly lifted the WDSL Premier Division title with an emphatic 5-1 win away at Ardmore Rovers, at Ballywaltrim in Bray.  Town went into the fixture knowing a solitary point would see the Black and Whites pipping rivals Enniskerry to secure the title and saving one of their best performances of the season thus far, when it mattered most, Town put on a five star effort to ease to the league title, with goals on the day coming from Eoin Cullen, Eoghan O'Neill (2) and Clive Keenan (2), much to the joy of players, parents and supporters alike.
