History

The club was established in 1902 and joined the South Devon League during the 1920s.[2] In 2007 they moved up to the newly formed South West Peninsula League, becoming founder members of Division One East.[3] After finishing third in 2009–10, the club were Division One East champions in 2010–11,[3] also winning the Devon Premier Cup with a 1–0 win over Budleigh Salterton.[4]

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]
