“All games were affected badly by the strong gusty wind, and most grounds had dried out into hard
surfaces which tested the players.”
“Spotswood consolidated their position with a good win over St. Albans. Parkside, hoping for a
Kingsville loss, got a big percentage booster over F&Y Socials.
In brilliant touch with Parkside were Heathcote, Rees, Crouch, Beattie and Rice.”
The Mail, 19 August 1970

“This week has been an exceptional one for the McGraw family who are closely associated with
Parkside. This Saturday, Paul McGraw former Maidstone player, will play his 150th FDL game.
But Last Saturday his wife Gloria presented him with their first child, and last Sunday, Paul’ s father
Tom, a former FDL registrar and executive member, won $1000 in Parkside’s special effort.
Don’t know if father and son had a two-way interest in the winning prize, but nonetheless Parkside
officials hope a “pie night” on the house, could be in the offing.”

“Parkside Under 12 full back Andrew Barnard coped a broken leg against Braybrook two weeks ago
and although his injury is fairly serious with break in two places. Andrew is taking it all light-
heartedly.
In fact he's taken to collecting as many autographs as he can on his plaster cast.”
