The Lake Grace-Pingrup Bombers Football Club competes in the Ongerup Football Association (OFA) in Western Australia.
The club was formed in 1996, via a merger of the Pingrip Saints and the Lake Grace Bombers.
The club has produced AFL players such as Nat Fyfe, Mark Bairstow and Liam Baker.
History
A team was formed in 1926 and Pingrup played in various competitions – including the Datatine-Nyabing-Pingrup FA that lasted for one season in 1936. Known as the Saints and playing in red, white and black, Pingrup joined the Ongerup FA in 1964 and enjoyed their most successful season in 1987 losing just one game – the grand final.
The club folded in 1995 but a revival followed in 1996 in the form of a merger with nearby Lake Grace. The Lake Grace-Pingrup combination has been a success with multiple premierships and grand final appearances in 2022 and 2023.
