Countdown to season 2010 - Interesting Peel Thunder Facts

[swannies]

As the season proper is only 5 weeks away I thought I'd start a series of countdown threads, with some 'interesting facts about each club, starting from the bottom of the 2009 ladder . This will let a few "idle" minds (yes efh, I'm looking at you) re-direct their talents for good, not evil.

Peel Thunder license was issued in 1996, with the proviso they be ready for the 1997 season, which gave them 8 months (according to their web page) to be ready.

Who was the first sandover medallist? Which year?
How many Sandovers have club players won?
How many colts premierships have they won? Which year/s?
Name the player, whose wife was GM of the club. (Bonus points for this one)

Peel supporters, and others, please feel welcome to graffiti the Peel walls in here by daubing the thread with both interesting and useless information. Things like first president, first coach, first captain, longest serving etc.

Let's kick off this season with a bang, (mainly because I'm really bored with the cricket).

Well done Swannies but you missed the part where South Freo lost their major recruiting catchment area to Peel

And no I'm still not bitter

Don't worry, I remembered it because we lost part of our Bunbury region, but, like you, I'm over it and thought better than bringing it up.

How many colts premierships have they won? Which year/s? 2, 04 and 05

The General Manager was Madam Bazzo, yes another Black Duck product.

Steve Bazzo wasn't at Peel for very long though, was he?

Swan Districts lost HBL, Collie was West Perth and Eaton Boomers (BCD) was East Perth. Swans retained the 3 Bunbury teams.

Eventually East Perth lost Donnybrook ( about 2003) rezoning I think.
