Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

“Parkside carried off the Footscray District Football League A grade premiership with a convincing
win over Spotswood in the Grand Final at Footscray Oval on Saturday.

Record crowds at the finals witnessed some of the most exciting finishes seen for many years.

In the A grade match, Parkside and Spotswood both gave stimulating displays of hard, robust foot-
ball.

Parkside, with an edge in class, were great in victory, but inaccurate Spotswood was certainly far
from disgraced in defeat.

Best players for Parkside were R. Ickeringill, L. Daglish, G. Rees, R. Griffin, D. Howie, J. Heathcote, T.
Watson, A. Condie, P. Meagher, G. Kavanagh.

Goals: J. Heathcote 7, Meagher 5. R. Turner 2, G. Rees, K. Thompson.”
