Bombala Break 27-Year Drought In First Grade League Premiership

A 45-metre penalty goal by Andrew Guthrie will go down as the deciding factor in Sunday’s Group 16 rugby league grand final.
The kick, which sailed neatly through the posts, locked in a 14-12 lead for Bombala that saw the club go on to break a 27-year drought.
Bega recovered a short kick from the restart with just two minutes on the clock, but a knock-on, then a penalty ensured the score would stand with an emphatic Bombala crowd swarming the field as the siren sounded.
The team, led by captain-coach Paul Perkins, were worth winners in a gritty and physical encounter with the Bega Roosters.
