Community sport has been vital in Canberra's development, with teams achieving national success and the media covering their journeys.
Sport brought together the people making their lives in the small town that was early Canberra. And 100 years on, community sport remains central to so many people's lives.
As the city grew, so too did its ambition for success on the national and international stage. In the early 1980s, the Cannons gave us a taste of national league success. And before long the Raiders joined the party, with the first of their three premierships in 1989.
The ACT Brumbies, Capitals, Canberra United and the Cavalry are some of the top-flight teams who have tasted victory. And The Canberra Times has been there to record all the highs and the lows.
