The club competed for many years in the Ballarat Football League winning only one premiership. In 1961, with the help of Jim Gull (ex South Melbourne player) who would kick the league goalkicking record of 159 goals the Demons won their only flag. The club fell quickly back to the bottom of the ladder and for many years the club struggled to be competitive before deciding in switching leagues in the early 2006.[1][2]

Daylesford's senior side has had a successful run since joining the Central Highlands Football League with three premiership wins in 2007, 2009 and 2012.
