Rumbalara went toe-to-toe with undefeated Nathalia and came out on top, winning 38-32 at Mercury Dve.
It puts Rumba in a great position to launch into the top two on the table — with Jess Bamblett's troops now one win behind the second-placed Purples.
Deniliquin remains undefeated this campaign, but had a bye at the weekend due to the standalone match it played against Moama (fourth) at the start of the season.
Tongala (fifth) also had a bye, and the chasing pack below Paige Wade's troops took the opportunity to close the gap.
