Colours: Black and red

Emblem: Bombers

Senior MFL Premierships: 2008 (1 total)

The Bombers’ achievement in overcoming a warmly favoured Gol Gol combination in the 2008 Millewa Football League grand final was the highlight of their eight decade long history. The side had qualified for the finals in third place with 11 wins from 16 matches before comfortably accounting for Meringur in the first semi final by 35 points, and then claiming a gut-wrenching 3 point preliminary final triumph over Bambill. The grand final was hotly contested for three quarters with the Hawks in front at the final change by a couple of points, 6.9 (45) to 6.7 (43). In the last term, however, the Bombers ran all over their opponents, adding 7.1 to 0.3 to win with a comfort that was as consummate as it was unexpected.

Euston’s only previous MFL grand final appearance, in 2002, had ended in a highly embarrassing 115 point defeat at the hands of Bambill. Final scores were Bambill 24.11 (155) defeated the Bombers 5.10 (40).

Following their premiership success in 2008 the Bombers reached the preliminary final a year later, losing by 40 points to Gol Gol.
