Have ashford ever won the wicklow county championship?

Yes, often. As it happens, I was at a match that they won yesterday (Sunday 11th of January 2009). They have won trophies. For example, they won the All-Ireland Junior Football title in 1936 and their seniors won the Tommy Murphy Cup Final in 2007. They have never won a Leinster Senior Football title, the only Leinster county that hasn't, but they have won a lot of matches.
