"We showed a lot of guts today [Saturday]," he told Group 4 Media.
"The Creek are a good side, and we lost Nic Millar, after 20 minutes, to a knee injury.
"The boys just played some real good footy, had good shape and the forwards did their job - they got us to where we needed to be and that let the backs do [their jobs]."
Boggabri led 16-10 at half-time.
"We got to the lead and stayed in front," Rampling said. "Had to defend well and did."
Meanwhile, first-placed Moree remained undefeated with a 70-18 home mauling of winless Narrabri on Sunday.
