[edit] History

The club formed in 1903, one of only three remaining foundation clubs, and since then has won twelve senior premierships. The Bombers competed in 6 Grand Finals in a row from 2000-2005, winning premierships in 2001, 2004 & 2005. Although the Bombers failed to qualify for the finals in 2006, the future looks bright with both their Under-18s teams playing in the top U18 competition, with the Bombers' U18s team winning their premiership.
