AFL Capricornia

However at the turn of the century, rugby football took hold across most of the state and the Australian rules competitions went into recess.

It is the only competition in Queensland outside of Cairns and Brisbane to run a full league that includes seniors to juniors at all six clubs.

Today many of the former Central Highlands AFL clubs still continue to operate, even though they are without a league to play-in, and even run Auskick programs.

The new colours are dark blue, sky blue and white, and are now known as the "Cyclones" The Capricornia region has had a few success stories of ex-AFL Capricornia players now playing or have played in the AFL, some players include Zac Smith (Suns, Cats), Paul O'Shea (Bulldogs), Gavin Urquart (Kangaroos).

The first all women's Australian Football game in this region was played in 1983, with Sisters Roos AFC (Brothers) versus Boyne Island Tannum Sands Saints.

Brothers Roos AFC do have a women's team, named 'The Sisters' but do not yet have an opposing club in the area to play against.

AFL Capricornia development officer Stuart Seager said "The games were of a high quality".

The league is covered primarily by the local print media of Rockhampton's Morning Bulletin and Gladston's The Observer.
