The club stayed in the Central gippsland league until 1926 when it became a founding member of the West Gippsland FL.The club won three flags in the WGFL, including the 1939 flag when their rivals, Garfield didn't turn up because it was raining. Reforming after the war the 1945 premiership was the last in the WGFL, rival town's population was growing at a faster rate and Bunyip found the competition was too hard.
