The team beat Pimpinio 36 to 31 in a thrilling game at Horsham City Oval.
Both teams struggled to hit the scoreboard in the first quarter.
But it was the Bombers who eventually struck first in the second to lead 10-2 about halfway through the quarter.
Another near the end of the quarter had them up by 14 points at the main break.
The rain bucketed down for the first few minutes of the third quarter before Pimpinio broke through for their first goal of the match.
Another followed and they held the Bombers scoreless for the quarter to go into the final change up 18-17.

The Bombers had plenty of chances early in the final quarter, and kicked four points in the space of three minutes.
Another followed before the ball headed up the other end and into the Tigers’ 50.
Corey Smith crumbed a loose ball, dodged his man and snapped at goal. It split the sticks to put Pimpinio back in front.
But the reply from Noradjuha-Quantong was swift, as they cleared the ball out of the middle and into the forward line for a goal.
Another goal to Bombers followed shortly after to put a handy buffer between them and the Tigers.
But Pimpinio surged again to goal and narrowed the margin to four.
A point to the Bombers followed, then the siren to signal a five-point win.
Noradjuha-Quantong’s Darcy Hogan was awarded the best on ground medal.
