Dennington has advanced to the preliminary final of Warrnambool Moyne premier cricket.
The Dogs were too strong for Port Fairy in the elimination final, winning by 52 runs.
Batting first on Saturday, the Dogs made 207 from their 80 overs.
In reply, Port Fairy lost its first wicket with just three on the board and were never able to recover, being bowled out for 155 in 50 overs.
A top three finish has failed to be turned into finals glory for Russells Creek.
Creek finished third on the ladder and started favourite in their elimination final on the weekend against sixth placed Mortlake.
Creek also had a home ground advantage, with the game played at Jetty Flat.
Creek batted first and were bowled out inside 77 overs for 163.
In reply, Mortlake was in early trouble, staggering to 4-33.
But top order batsman Saman Gonawala dug in, making an unbeaten 83 to guide
Mortlake to victory with a score of 8-166.
