Last but not least, we celebrate the Heritage of the Gungahlin Eagles, including their two Premiership sides from '84 and '86.
1984 - 1st Grade Premiers
In 1984 the Eagles won their 1st First Grade Premiership, an amazing achievement given that the club was only granted Premier Club status in 1973. Lead by Eagles legend – Leigh Donnellan the final score was Daramalan 22 def Royals 11
1986 – 1st Grade Premiers
1981,1982,& 1983 – CLUB CHAMPIONS
