The Peel Football and Netball League will be looking to overturn some disappointing Country Week performances in recent times and living up to their undoubted potential as one of the state's strongest country leagues this weekend at Hands Oval Bunbury. 

The match could potentially be a preview to the Division 1 Grand Final as South West look to extend their dominance for a sixth straight year, but will have to do it the hard way if they fail to bank the four points against what looks like an impressive Peel side on paper.

Peel Coach Clayton Falkingham is also in charge of one of the most talented country clubs in the state at Halls Head and is sure to have plenty of aces up his sleeve on Sunday when push comes to shove.

If the match is won in the midfield, Peel look to have a fair chance to win the ascendancy with Jacob Williams in the ruck and star midfielders Brendon Jones, Josh Bowe and former Bunbury gun Jesse Gribble (pictured) all good in and under players. Gribble is a Bunbury local who won a number of Division 1 titles with the South West and is sure to be in the middle of the action as he returns to SWFL headquarters. 

Tom Harper is built like the proverbial brick outhouse and will provide four quarters of grit around the contest and they’ll need Brad Holmes to have a good day in front of goals to capitalise on the hard work up field. Holmes will be guarded closely by South West full back and Landmark fashionista Wil Oelsnik (pictured) who is rarely beaten.

African born South Fremantle forward Paul Mugambwa has been in good touch for Centrals and will enjoy his first taste of Country Week football.  Falkingham will no doubt use Mugambwa up forward and to pinch hit in the ruck as he did at WAFL level.

South West have named 7 under 21's in their squad of 30 and this will be trimmed to 25 by Sunday's match. Kyle Hams, Simon Parry and Michael Florio are all in good touch at club level. Donnybrook's Parry has had an injury interrupted 2016 but has targeted getting back for this match for some time and will provide the South West with some sure ball handling through the mid and half back lines.

Brendan Page has plenty of rep footy experience and can be damaging around the ground. Anthony Tsalikis has been kicking goals at the right time for South Bunbury and will need to kick a few today along with spearhead Leigh Kohlmann who will be keen to cement a state country guernsey with a solid performance.

South West Coach and country footy great Jamie Nani (pictured) will again mentor the South West squad and this Sunday's match up looks likely to give him his greatest challenge whilst in charge of the powerful South West unit.
