Parkside Football Club 1897/2017
Best for Parkside were Kavanagh, Griffin, Meagher, Need, J. Meagher, R. Meagher, D’Arcy and
Ickeringill.
In the U16 competition, “Parkside, with only 14 players, battled all days against the weight of
numbers. Credit must go to all players for their effort. Best players for Parkside against Seddon were
R. Miller, Sainsbury, Bell and Morgan.”
Braybrook was better against Parkside in the U14 competition. A very young Parkside team, with
only 16 players, played well against stronger Braybrook opposition.
Deficit of players in all junior grades became a prolonged problem for the club.
In April 1967, Parkside placed an advertisement in The Mail, calling juniors players to join the club.
In the second round Parkside Seniors demolished F&Y Socials despite horrible kicking accuracy.
Parkside 12.30 d. F&Y Socials 5.9
In the third round Kingsville downed Parkside in a hard vigorous match highlighted by several full-
blooded clashes. Kingsville 10.6 d. Parkside 8.7
Once a Parksider, Always a Parksider
