The 2011–12 season saw Liverton retain the Premier Cup and win the league's Charity Vase.[5][4] They were also Division One East champions for a second successive season, earning promotion to the Premier Division. However, despite finishing in mid-table in the Premier Division the following season, the club were demoted back to Division One East for failing to meet ground grading requirements.[3] In 2019 the club were founder members of the new Devon League, becoming members of its North East Division.
