The Murray Football League side did things the hard way on Saturday afternoon, coming from behind to defeat the Deniliquin Rams by 33 points in the final round of regular season action.
A 10.10 (70) to 4.13 (37) result at Scott Oval, the visiting Rams led at every change throughout the contest except the last.
Inaccurate on the day, the Rams led by seven points at quarter time, with a one goal and nine point second term helping build a 12-point lead at the main break.
In the third the visitors did enough to stay a goal ahead, before a 40-point-to-one final quarter handed Cobram first position on the ladder.
