Before the start of the 2017 season the club once again competed in the Žemaitijos Taurė, where this time they finished second, losing to hosts Džiugas 3–0 in the final. [6] Club started their league campaign really well and even managed to climb to the top of the league after 14 rounds, but soon after had a winless streak of 6 games and didn't recover, finally ending the season in 9th place. [7]

In the 2018 LFF I Lyga season, after the first half of the championship, the team was in second position, but after parting with several players in the transfer window lost match after match and eventually finished in seventh position. [8]
