The Canberra Royals edged their way back into the contest in the second half.
But the Tuggeranong Vikings held on to win by just four points, 27-23.
Re-live all the action in the blog below.
Papali'i is a name normally associated with Canberra rugby league, but on Saturday it was all about rugby union.
Crystal Papali'i bulldozed her way to two second-half tries that helped set up a dominant Gungahlin Eagles premiership that capped off a dominant season.
The whole team flew out of the sheds like women possessed as they ran all over the Tuggeranong ViQueens in the second half to win the Premier XVs title 33-17 at Viking Park.
Eagles front-rower Talina Driti was named woman of the match, but there were a number of Gungahlin stars the award could've gone to.
Papali'i scored a second-half brace.
Makenna Ravouvou capped off her powerful performance with a try that involved a nice combination with her fullback Jasmine Kelley, who was also excellent.
It looked like it was going to be a tight tussle with the scores locked at 7-all at half-time, with Brianna Patmore opening the scoring for the Eagles after Kelley created some space.
Then Tijana Zdravevska got on the end of a Siena Edwards grubber to level it up just before half-time for the ViQueens.
The Eagles got through a lot of defending deep in their half in the opening 35 minutes, but took control with two tries in two minutes after the break - to Siutiti Ma'ake and Papali'i.
Papali'i, sister of Canberra Raiders great Josh Papali'i, said they had a big party planned.
