For the next two seasons, they stubbornly held onto that same position before exploding into their best-ever run in 2024–2025.

Under the guidance of their returning Serbian coach, Nikola Kavazovic, Sua shocked the league by finishing third with 59 points, only seven shy of champions Gaborone United (GU). They were the most lethal side in front of goal, scoring 63 times, whilst boasting one of the tightest defences with just 31 goals conceded.
