Dee's Take Bombers

Your Nimbin Demons played their first game in over a decade on the weekend - and scored a miraculous 3 points!

This was more than the total score of both teams when the other Nimbin Headers play.

Past players and town legends revved up the troops with inspirational speaches about teamwork, togetherness, pride, toughness, and little towns sticking it right up the big boys.

The bag pipes sounded.

Passion and skill was on display as heart and determination played all day.

Stella performances were laid down by the likes of Fitzy busting through the centre, Mark holding firm and strong, big Bennie with aggression, Coop spreading his wings threatening to launch, and the wizard Symmo showing glimpses of magic.

Captain, coach and absolutely inspiration, Will Alexander, living up to his name, dragged the team forward, contest after contest, getting loose balls on the outside, and getting in and under, putting the body on the line - just as he had done in the months leading into the contest - making sure a team was on the park to play.

Passion resonated, and was enough to move the sky.

The Ballina Bombers did technically win the game, but the jury's still out on why stealth bomber airplanes are even allowed to play in the sport.

And nobody questioned if the doping scandal that plagued Jame's herd a decade ago was still rippling through the team.

Jobe Watson unsurprisingly made no comment.

Your Nimbin Demons take on Brunswick Heads this Saturday - the crowd last week was enormous - to get around them.
