 The club left the Tallangatta & District Football League after the 1988 season, and spent the following post-season preparing to join the Ovens and Murray Football League for the 1989 Season.Following the 1988 decision to allow the Wodonga Demons permission to join the Ovens and Murray Football League, the Wodonga Demons Football and Sports Club went about re-establishing their new identity.They had to change both their name and colours so as to not cause confusion with the Benalla Demons (also wore Red and White colours for its playing jumpers) and the long established Wodonga Football Club (previously the sole Wodonga-based club between 1952-1975).
