February 16, 1961 Arniston played Tranent Juniors and won 7 - 1. March 2, 1961 Arniston were defeated 3 - 2 by Penicuik Athletic at Arniston.

2 - 1 to Fauldhouse United after a 2 - 2 draw. Final game, Arniston won the Rae Cup again beating Pumpherson Juniors in the Final, and again no actual score in.
