The inaugural Super Series has seen a long-awaited return of elite-level domestic competition to the ACT touch football community.
2024 saw the Super Series raised and promoted to fill the void left by the defunct Super League competition.
Championed by a committee of community participants, the Super Series concept and eventual competition was built by the community, for the community. The concept saw those interested athletes EOI into a pool where they were drafted into one of four competition teams in Men's and Women's divisions, each vying for championship glory and the attached bragging rights.
Fierce competition in both divisions saw final ladder placings and Grand Final spots being decided only at the conclusion of the eighth and final regular season round.
The Women's Grand Final saw the undefeated Dolphins outfit, led by captain Caylee Wallis taking on the Keesha Kapea led TRC Rabbitohs.
The gameplay saw a back-and-forth battle before The Dolphins proved too good and ran out eventual winners, completing their undefeated championship run.
In what can only be explained as sensational form, Daisy Craig was crowned player of the final, while also picking up the Canberra Physio Clinic Rising Star Award.
Men's Grand Final action saw the Espresso Room Broncos in action against Fortis Tigers seeing the season's two most consistent men's sides over the season in a fierce battle with the Fortis Tigers under the experienced leadership of captain Steve Kennedy defeating the Espresso Room Broncos, lifting the championship trophy for the first time.
Men's player of the final honours were earned by Lewis Cook in a fantastic display.
