“Williamstown and Footscray District Junior Football Association
All matches for last Saturday were postponed on account of the bad state of the grounds.
Seasiders have their strongest team in today and are confident of victory. Parksides tried four new
players against the Rovers: Bertram, Pierce, Parr, Taylor and all justified their inclusion.
Fixtures for today are:
Glenwoods v Seasiders, at Seddon;
Central Juniors v Parkrides, at North Williamstown;
Sunshine v Footscray Rovers, at Sunshine”
