Finishing second in Division Five, the club played Clayton (2) in the semi-final and was comprehensively defeated by 20 shots.
The team then had to play Hampton RSL, which won its semi-final against Hampton Park, in the preliminary final.
It turned out to be a one-sided affair, with Dandenong City winning by 56 shots.
Facing Clayton in the final seemed a daunting task, but, to its surprise, Dandenong City showed grit and determination a complete form reversal and win by a massive 46 shots.
