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.

1991 - saw a new degree on enthusiasm with the club being promoted to 1st division. Geoff Nelson was appointed Captain/Coach with Robbie Barnes as his Assistant. We recorded one of our highest losing margins in our first game against Belconnen, however we re-grouped, the coaches persisted and we finished a credible 5th.

1992 - the club remianed in 1st division with Geoff Nelson and Robbie Barnes continuing the coaching duties. After sustaining early heavy losses, the club fought back, becoming more competitve and narrowly missing a finals berth. Three games in a week to finish the home and away season proved too much, an losing two of these cost us our finals berth. Geoff Nelson and Leigh Kleinig played their 50th games, and JET-of-the-Year, Greg Piltz his 100th.

1993 - saw the JETS remain competitive in the 1st division competition, yet were unable to capitalise on all of their on-field opportunities, finishing 6th after a stop/start draw played havoc with our enthusiasm. Mick Ryan played his 100th game, JET-of-the-Year winner Geoff Nelson was runner-up in the League Best and Fairest, and John Bink was awarded Life Membership for oustanding service to the club.
