Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

The Mail, September 14, 1967

“Parkside finished too strongly for Spotswood, to take out 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 A1 grade match, Parkside and Spotswood both gave stimulating displays of hard, robust
football.

Parkside, with an edge in class, were great in victory, but inaccurate Spotswood were 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.

It was a brilliant end to an excellent season.

U18: G. Rees, 1; K. Hardy,2; R. Cheesman, 3.
