The Blacks first grade side is just one win away from reaching the grand final after booking a place in the Illawarra District Rugby Competition preliminary final.
Bowral secure a 31-20 win in its semi-final against Avondale on Sunday at Camden.
Bowral head coach Gene Fairbanks said it was a “sensational” result to win the semi-final.
“We are very happy,” he said.
“We had so much support down here [in Camden], it was unreal and the players got such a kick from it.”
Fairbanks said Sunday’s win was set up by a four-try performance from centre Henry Yuill.
“Henry was a super star today,” he said.
Fairbanks said other standouts included Jack Parsons, Manu Fuloirao, Tim Lewis and George Harrison.
“We were not outstanding as a team today though,” he said.
“We had so much support down here [in Camden], it was unreal and the players got such a kick from it.”

The result means the Blacks progress to the preliminary final against University on August 27 at Ocean Park.
Fairbanks said Bowral’s players and coaching staff had started preparing for the game.
“We are already thinking about it as a club,” he said.
“We have some things we need to work on this week at training, but we want to make the grand final.
“But it will be a tough game against Uni.”
