They won their first-qualifying-round match 3–2 against Keynsham Town and followed that up with a second win, 4–1 against Godolphin Atlantic. Following these two matches, both against sides one level higher in the pyramid, they lost 5–0 in the first round proper to Cadbury Heath, from two levels above them. The 2024–25 season saw Sidmouth Town promoted to step five for the first time in the club's history, crowned champions of the South West Peninsula Premier Division East.
