They were placed in the South Division for the 1928–29 season amidst league reorganisation, before becoming members of Division One the next season. In 1953–54 the club finished bottom of Division One and were relegated to Division Two, and were subsequently relegated to Division Three at the end of the 1956–57 season, having finished bottom of Division Two. However, they were Division Three runners-up the following season and were promoted back to Division Two.

The 1961–62 season saw Lymington finish bottom of Division Two, resulting in another relegation to Division Three. They won the Division Three title in 1967–68, earning promotion back to Division Two. However, the club finished second-from-bottom of Division Two in 1970–71 and were relegated to Division Three again. In 1977–78 they finished bottom of Division Three, but were not relegated to Division Four; this was repeated in the 1979–80 season. The club were Division Three runners-up in 1982–83 and were promoted to Division Two.
