The winners received a cheque for $1800, the runners-up took home $900 and the third placegetter received $500.
The women’s grand final was won by Navy, which defeated ADFA in a spirited contest.
Navy will defend both its men’s and women’s titles at the Australian Services Australian Football Association championships in Canberra at Ainslie Oval from April 16-20.
One of the organisers, WO2 Gary Sutcliffe, said The event was well coordinated and ran smoothly throughout.
“The Kapooka 12s was a successful event and the on-field competitiveness and evenness of the competition was a highlight of the day.
“Teams were very well prepared and this was displayed in the standard of football played.”
