History of the Nowra Bomaderry Jets
The Nowra-Bomaderry Jets are an Australian Rugby League football team based in the towns of Nowra & Bomaderry, 2 neighbouring coastal towns on the NSW South Coast.
The club is a part of the Country Rugby League Organisation.
The team formed in late 2007, playing their first game as Shoalhaven Jets in 2008, after it was voted Nowra Warriors and Bomaderry Swamp Rats would merge after many years of struggling to field teams.
The Nowra Warriors and Bomaderry Swamp Rats still field teams in junior rugby league competitions.

It was announced that the newly merged team would be called the Shoalhaven Jets and their colours would be blue, gold, and black. This is the natural result from the colours of each side, with Bomaderry formerly of blue and gold and Nowra of gold and black. The logo was similar to that of NSWRL Premier League side, Newtown Jets.

After missing the 2011 First Grade season, the side was able to recruit enough players and sponsors to field a team in the 2012 Group 7 Rugby League first grade competition. The club re-branded themselves to "Nowra-Bomaderry" and established a new logo. The logo is based on the original logo, but utilises the club's colours of gold, blue and black. The year 2012 is also brandished on the logo.
The Ladies League Tag team won their first premiership.
