Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

A strong rivalry between Parkside and Braybrook delivered a close and intense encounter at the
start of the fifth decade in the last century.

Braybrook Lose by 1 pt.

“Braybrook just failed to defeat Parkside at home last Saturday.

With a high wind blowing straight down the ground the backlines of both

teams were hard pressed when their opponents were favoured with the wind and negative tactics of
forcing the ball out,were used by both sides.

The game was spoilt as a spectacle but never lacked excitement and fire. Neither side could gain a
clear advantage and at the last change, 'Parks had only a two goal lead. It seemed as if Braybrook
could win, but Parksides packed their back-line-at least 15 men were defending—making scoring
almost impossible and the Brooks failed by 1 point only.

Parksidee: 4-11; 35 points d. Braybrook: 4-10; 34 points”
