Parkside Football Club 1897/2017
It was odds-on that Kingsville would gain a place in the finals, as Parks looked to have little hope of
downing the formidable Socials.

They did the trick, however, not merely scraping home, but romping in by nine goals.

The fashion in which Parkside "turned it on" at the right time had a real Collingwood flavour. And,
fittingly they wear the same black and white uniform as the Magpies”

Parkside 14.7 d. F & Y Socials 5.9

Parkside combined evenly for a convincing win, and goals came from K. Cross 3, B. O’Keefe 3, R. Duff
2, T. Davenport 2, L. Coon, J. Considine, B. Phillips and J. Grubb.
