[3] The club hoped, by recruiting a number of former Vale players with the promise of senior football, that it could retain a more consistent XI.

[5] It played in the qualifying rounds of the 1892–93 Scottish Cup, and was one match short of playing in the Scottish Cup proper,[6] going down 4–1 at Motherwell in the fourth and final preliminary round, Levendale handicapped when 1–0 down by an injury to Logan.

[7] The Motherwell press was not complimentary of Levendale, claiming the club behaved "very shabbily" after the game and "took their defeat...in a most ungentlemanly manner".

[8] However, the club had a remarkable run in its only Dumbartonshire Cup entry, thanks in part to Renton not entering, and the Dumbartonshire FA keeping Vale of Leven and Dumbarton exempt until the semi-finals, due to their Scottish League commitments.

[9] Levendale however could not capitalize on the fine run, with League football decimating clubs in smaller towns.
