Dubbo duo Jay Porter and Matt McIntyre took the win to secure their second in the last three years last week.
The disappointment came after Hamilton and Mobbs almost pulled off a miraculous comeback in the decider.
Porter, who secured the game winning shot, was impressive by his opponents.
“To Bob and Mobbsy’s credit though, they fought back really hard, won five or six ends in a row and made it really tough,” he said.
Next year’s Golden Eagle will be the 50th fixture.
