| ROYAL AUSTRALIAN AIR FORCE (ACT)Affiliated: CANFL 1940-45 Premierships: Nil (Highest position: 2nd in 1941-2-3) Mulrooney Medallists: Jack Furniss 1941 (1 total) An influx of men with football backgrounds from the southern states led to the formation, in 1940, of a CANFL club at RAAF Kingston. The club struggled to field a team each week in its debut season, and finished last, but between 1941 and 1943, when other clubs were weakened by the loss of many of their best players to the armed services, it performed creditably. It came closest to claiming a premiership in 1941 when it lost the grand final to Queanbeyan by just 3 points. Once the war was over, however, the club disbanded. Where now? or |
