"We unveiled our premiership flag today out at our home ground which was really nice and it had been a long time coming so it was nice to to do that," she said.
"Quantong are a pretty tough team.
"We knew it was going to be a tough game, and we had a few players out ourselves, but we were happy to come away with the win.
"Our goal end was pretty strong, Maddy and myself have played together for a long time and we just know where each other are.
"We had good pressure down the court and our hand over was allowing us to have a lot of intercepts through the mid-court and that set up a lot of our goals for the game."
Dumesny was also impressed with the Bombers game.
"They were really good and we expected that after they had had a great off-season and got some good recruits," she said.
"Our main focus was to stop the ball before it got into their goals because they are really strong in that area.
"We expected it to be a tough game and it was really quite free-flowing, quick and high scoring.
