Riddell will have the chance to defend its Riddell District Football League premiership with the Bombers the first side through to the grand final.
The Bombers were pushed all the way in their semi final against Macedon on Saturday, but managed to get the job done in cold conditions at Romsey.
The Cats led early by 17 points before the Bombers worked back into the game.
Scores were level both at half time and three quarter time, though the Bombers had more scoring shots.
The two sides traded the lead in the final quarter, before Dean Galea put his side back in front and then kicked the sealer.
The Bombers won 10.13 (73)-10.5 (65).
Bombers coach Arron Bray said they were pretty happy to be back in the grand final.
“It feels good,” he said. “A lot of hard work has gone into it and we now have a week to rest and recover which is nice.”
Bray said it was pretty cold at Romsey Park, but the rain stayed away during the seniors match and the wind dropped off in the second half.
He said the game wasn’t a pretty one and was an arm wrestle all day.
“There was a slight breeze but I don’t think that made a difference,” he said. “We were focused on not going away from what worked for us.
“We stuck to the structure and process all the way. Macedon set up really well and they structured up pretty good behind the ball.
“We had to adapt a few things at quarter time and heading into the second quarter and were able to wrestle things back and it was a grind.”
Bray said they focused on making sure they would at least push the game late into the piece and see what the Cats had.
He said that grand final and premiership experience in the group, shone through when they needed it to.
Bray said it was nice knowing they had the players to make the right decisions at crucial times.
“We had some big plays from big players,” he said. “Dean kicked two late and he had been quiet.
“Zac Saad was super clean in important one on ones. Ben Sonogan’s intercept marking all day.
“They stood up when you needed them too.”
Galea ended up with three goals for the Bombers, with Luke Cannon with two goals.
Sonogan, Saad and Bryce Williamson were named the Bombers best.
Jason Cooke kicked four goals for the Cats, with Matt Dick and Charlie Rossetti named their best.
The Bombers now get the weekend off before the grand final.
Bray said they would look to have a recovery session on Tuesday night before getting in a nice building block of running before the grand final.
The Bombers will have some selection dilemmas heading into the grand final.
Dylan Tarczon should be back from injury, while Dylan Podolczak, who missed the semi final with concussion, will also be available.
