WAGFL 1988-1997
Originally meant to only consist of two teams, the Northside Chargers and the Southside Seahawks, there was enough interest to start the league with 3 teams as the Bassendean Broncos (now Perth Broncos) team was formed as well.
The first organised Gridiron game to be played in Western Australia took place between the Southside Seahawks and Bassendean Broncos at Jubilee Oval in September 1988. The final score of the game was 2-0 in favour of the Broncos, the only score being on a safety.
After a brief 3 team season in 1988 WAGFL kick started again in February 1989 with a 4th team, the Claremont Jets, being added to the league.
WAGFL would also later include teams such as the Mount Lawley Bengals, Forrestfield Falcons, East Perth Vikings, West Coast Buccaneers, Westside Steelers, Wanneroo/Joondalup Bears and the Hyde Park Giants.
