JETSWEB - Information for Members and Guests of the Gungahlin JETS AFC.

The JETS have been part of the Amatuer Australian Football Competition in Canberra since 1982. Over that time the club has won seven Premierships, and has grown to a club with over 450 members, three Senior teams, including a women's team, six Junior teams, and over 60 kids playing AUSKICK. The JETS have been part of the Gungahlin Community since 1996 and continue to grow in the region. The club's short-term goal is to dominate the ACTAFL Canberra Disctrict Competition, with an ultimate goal of entering teams in the ACTAFL's Premier Competition.

1988 - added another Premiership to take the club's total to three. The JETS finished second for the season after losing only three games. The JETS flogged the Minor Premiers, West Canberra in the Major Semi by 16 goals and eventually beat ANU to make it back-to-back Premierships. Kelvin Ryan, who passed away later that year was named Best on Ground. He is sadly missed by everyone.

1989 - will ong be remembered by all involved as we finished Minor Premiers and completed our hat trick of Premierships, taking the club's tally to four. The effort to win the Grand Final was outstanding given our five-goal half time deficit, but the JETS bounced back in the second half to overrun an astonished ANU to win by 3 goals. During the season Matt Blythe became the first JET to reach 100 games for the club.

1990 - presented another challenging year. Ken Zimmer remained as coach and we finished the home and away season with another Minor Premiership. The second Semi against Ainslie was marred by several heavy clashes, leaving two JETS players hospitalised. Although we won the match, Ainslie had set up a winning advantage goinig into the Grand Final and won by 21 points.
