  Queanbeyan
During recent seasons, however, the Queanbeyan Tigers have vied with Ainslie for the distinction of being the ACTAFL's dominant force, and at the risk of tempting fate it would seem that the club's future is now reasonably secure.
It was Queanbeyan's first premiership as an individual club since 1941 and, given the long barren years that the club had been forced to endure in the interim, must arguably go down as the most satisfying of them all.
At the start of the 1988 season Queanbeyan were felt to be a team on the downward spiral, an impression reinforced when they lost to 1987 wooden spooners Belconnen in the pre-season knock-out competition.
