Following the 1999 Victorian Country Football League report that stated a number of clubs, including Bethanga, were on the verge of collapsing if some kind of action was not taken. After playing a handful of matches at Wodonga’s Martin Park to see if there would be enough local support to support the club moving there, the club made the decision in 2002 Bethenga relocated fully to Wodonga & were renamed to the Wodonga Saints.
