However, the club was only allowed in on trial and awaited a decision from the Camanachd Association as to whether this was to become a permanent arrangement.

The game did have one positive note for Lewis: it included the club's first goal in competitive shinty, scored by Alasdair Mackenzie.

[9] On Thursday 3 February, it was announced that Lewis had been granted permission to enter North Division Three on an initial one-year trial basis.

They then awaited the Camanachd Association's decision on league membership which was given on 7 December 2011 after a lengthy consultation.

The club hosted pre-season friendlies against Skye and Newtonmore before beginning their second league season.

By 19 April 2012 they had exceeded their 2011 points total, with their first away win at the Bught Park against Inverness and a 6–6 draw against Strathspey Camanachd.

Sinclair's first term in charge saw Lewis avoid bottom spot again for the second year in succession.

They were promoted to North Division Two, partly due to league reconstruction, where Lewis finished 8th out of ten teams.

The Heb Celt Cup was won in July 2016 with a resounding 6–0 victory over Uist Camanachd.

The club has continued to fulfil all its fixtures, including the only game played in the curtailed 2020 season.
