Bordeaux Bombers

The Bordeaux Bombers were formed in November 2007 by player/coach Frédéric Zohar. Zohar played for West Australian team Boxwood Hill Bombers in 2006 and returned to France inspired to form the Bordeaux Bombers with his two brothers. After several years playing on rugby fields with plastic side posts that would fall over, they won support from the regional government in the form of a dedicated oval.

In 2008 the Bombers took part in their first official competition, the French Cup in Paris, finishing 3rd out of 4 teams.

For their first year in the National French competition during the 2008/2009 season, they finished in last place behind Paris (champions), Strasbourg and Montpellier.

On 4 July 2009 the Bombers hosted the second French National Cup. It was held at Saint-Médard-en-Jalles near Bordeaux, on the first dedicated Australian Rule football oval in France. Six teams took place in the competition - Bordeaux Bombers, Paris Cockerels (champions), Perpignan Tigers, Toulouse Crocodiles, Montpellier Fire Sharks and Strasbourg Kangaroos.The Bombers finished 5th, recording a win against Montpellier.
