The Bobby Beams-coached side scored a crucial win against Old Scotch at NTCA Ground on Saturday.
In a game where both teams struggled to score, the Parrots kept pushing the ball forward and were rewarded with a 4.6 (30) to 1.3 (9) victory.
Bridgenorth made their move in the third term with two goals to one.
Beams said he was proud of his fourth-ranked group for getting an away win against a side above them on the ladder.
He felt the team fought well in tough dewy conditions.
The Parrots mentor said the Thistles challenged his group and they had to work hard for the victory.
"I thought our movement forward of centre was good and we looked dangerous once we got the ball in there," he said.
Beams added the midfielders worked hard and praised the backline for keeping the Thistles to one goal.
Emily Mckinnell kicked two majors while Emily Nunn and Letitia Johnston got one each.
The Parrots' best were Alice Robinson, Mckinnell, Courtney Sharman, Hannah Carr, Maddy Whitney and Johnston.
Meanwhile, Scottsdale celebrated Alex Hall's 50th club game in style with a 6.10 (46) to 4.1 (25) triumph at Bracknell.

The Sharks hit back in the second stanza with two goals and kept the Pies to four behinds.
But Scottsdale got away again in the third quarter with two majors to zip.
The Magpies' best were Ellie Moore, Keeley Lester, Eboney Westwood, playing-coach Mikayla Binns, Paige McLennan and Alice Hall.
