History

In 1989, Hawthorn/East Melbourne relocated to Glen Waverley in the eastern suburbs, and was later renamed Hawthorn/Waverley in 1994. The move of Hawthorn/East Melbourne caused Waverley to move to Dandenong, and the new team played as Waverley/Dandenong, but dropped Waverley from its name for the 1994–95 season. Dandenong currently use Shepley Oval as their home ground.

The clubs most successful season came in 2006/7 where it won its first Premier Cricket Premiership. The side included Peter Siddle, Darren Pattinson and Premier Cricket legend Warren Ayres.

Dandenong won its second flag in 2010/11 vs. Frankston Heat in one of the great finals in the competition's history. Siddle, Darren and James Pattinson all played for Dandenong in the final and their individual efforts went along way to Dandenong claiming the Premiership.
