St. Albans were perhaps fortunate to gain the points over Parkside in opening game of the 1971
season. “And it seems a joke when you put the difference of 2 points down to greater fitness winning
the game for the Saints in a very tight finish.
Parkside were far from disgraced and will improve as the year progresses.”

In the fifth round Parkside defeated Albion. “Parkside going in harder and looking for a man were too
strong for Albion, who wilted under pressure.
Parkside are now playing power football and are going to be hard to beat from here on.”
