"Deep in the third quarter I think it was, we were behind and we were really challenged but the boys responded," he said.

"We did a lot of training about that and we knew that they would come out and they did.

"They did that in the preliminary final and we stayed in the contest and we thought that if we could hold the contest and get equal in the contest than we could come home.

"Then we knew our fitness would get us across the line in the end."

Lachlan Higman was outstanding for the Bombers and was awarded the medal for best on ground.

Bourke thought Higman was fantastic and believed he was a worthy recipient of the medal after a couple of stellar performances in recent weeks.

"He was huge for us," he said.

"He's been huge over the last couple of weeks and he's a quality player and just a quality bloke to have around the footy club."

Higman wasn't the only standout for the Bombers with Bourke crediting a number of players for their efforts in the grand final.

"Across the board there was great efforts there," he said.

"Juddy Withers in the back line he was really solid for a young bloke, he played in the Wagga Swans' under 15's last week and he was really solid in defence for us.

"At half forward we had Zac Walker and in the ruck there was big buckets Cam Walshe the captain and he was fantastic.

"We had winners across the board and we spread the load evenly so it was really good."

Hunter Schultz and Ryan Kemp were North Wagga's best while Piltz finished with the four goals for the Saints.

Two-time Essendon premiership player Michael Long and 1996 Olympic gold medallist Nova Peris presented the premiership medals to the Bombers.
