The Peel Football League (PFL) is a country football league based in the Peel region of Western Australia.

The formation years

The Metropolitan Football League (MFL) was a predecessor to the PFL and competed from 1988 to 1991 under the administration of the Sunday Football League. The six founding MFL teams in 1988 were Kwinana, Manning, Midland, Mosman Park, North Fremantle and Cockburn. In 1989, the MFL grew from 6 teams to 8 teams with the inclusion of Mundijong Centrals and Pinjarra. These two teams were previously competing in the Murray Districts Football League (along with Harvey Town, South Mandurah and Waroona).

The MFL gained another two teams in 1990, with the admission of South Mandurah and Waroona, who were forced to join the league when the Murray Districts Football League disbanded at the end of the 1989 season. Cockburn also did not compete in 1990, but re-entered for the final year of the MFL in 1991.

In 1992, the ten MFL teams broke ties with the Sunday Football League and combined with Mandurah (from the Sunday Football League) and Belmont to form the new Peel Football League (PFL). In 1994, Midland, Mosman Park, Manning, North Fremantle, Cockburn and Belmont left the PFL to form Division 2 of the Sunday Football League (along with a new club from Kingsley). However, the loss of these six teams was offset by the admission of Rockingham (from the WA Amateur Football League) and a new team from Harvey.

The information above was sourced from Sunday Football League Yearbooks and Westside Football Newspapers.

Merger rumours and the loss of the Bulls

The end of 2008 saw the end of neighbouring competition the Sunday Football League. This fuelled rumours that as many as four of their clubs would be joining the competition in 2009 although only two were reported as applying.[1] There were many mixed reactions throughout the competition, with majority of the people and clubs involved, against the idea. Even though clubs rejected the offer, rumours persisted that the WAFC were going to over rule the clubs and input the new clubs in by themselves. The Harvey Bulls reacted immediately. With playing numbers already at a dangerous low, and coming off a poor season, the input of the more clubs would increase travel time and therefore playing interest would tumble further. So in an effort to increase interest in the club, it held a meeting within the community to decide on their future. There were two options decided to vote upon. Move to the South West Football League or fold. In an overwhelming decision it was voted to create a submission to become the tenth team in the SWFL.

While all this was happening the PFL decided to try to fight off the merger. All clubs voted against it, but it was up to the WAFC to decide on their fate. Meanwhile, the SWFL decided to look into the Bulls submission. The Bulls had a meeting with the SWFL board and both parties came out of the meeting happy, and it was now up to the other clubs in the SWFL to vote upon the Bulls in a months time. The Bulls needed to get 7 or more votes out of 9 to enter the competition.

The SWFL voted late December on 2008. 8 of the clubs voted in favour of the Bulls with the only club against it was neighbouring and now rival team Harvey-Brunswick-Lecshanault Lions. This vote allowed the Bulls to join the competition in 2009.[2] In their 15 years in the PFL the Bulls played in six Grand Finals, winning three premierships, and played in twelve finals series.

Later it was decided that the SFL teams were better suited to enter in the amateur Perth competition. Armadale though were admitted to the PFL to replace the Bulls. However they did not last there and also joined the Perth competition in 2010.
