Pie Night (Australian)

A social occasion at which pies and beer are served.

‘pie nights were an institution in footy clubs’

“Parkside's nuggety rover Ray Griffen has had a windfall this weekend with the drawing of the club's
special effort. In fact Ray has five hundred reasons to be particularly pleased with himself, but what
he doesn't know yet is that the next pie night for the players is on him. Ray's winning ticket was 134
with Barry Cleary (102) and K. Alderfield (182) taking off the second and third prizes.

Back on the football side, Ray's good form coupled with that of second rover Leo Daglish and
ruckmen Terry Rosewarne, George Morgan and Lindsay Murphy is one reason behind the side's
improved performances resulting in a good win over Seddon last Saturday.”

“Latest addition to Parkside’s line-up is blonde Footscray Tech. ruckman Terry Rosewarne, who
crossed over from the Amateurs last Saturday.

Rosewarne should be a big help to captain-coach Lindsay Murphy, who has had to carry the Parks
rucks for many years.”
