Parkside Football Club 1897/2017
“In A Grade the Parkside – North Footscray clash was a beauty with both sides turning on a first class
exhibition. The game resulted in a cliff-hanger with the result in doubt until the final siren.
North Footscray 19.12 d. Parkside 18.8
Parkside best: Tudor, Meagher, Bishop, Daglish and Beattie.”
The round five brought a violent weekend all over the FDL grades. There were 14 reports, mainly for
abusive language and striking.
On the brighter side, Parkside player Mick Banes played his 200th with the club.
Ladder at the end of the 1972 season (A Grade and A Reserves)
Parkside’s A Reserves team played against Albion in the 1972 grand final.
“Parkside were too strong and talented for Albion in A Reserves and these two sides had unique
distinction of playing a match of five different quarters
This eventuated when the timekeeper accidentally blew the siren when a melee had developed in
the second quarter. Before the mistake could be rectified, both sides and umpires had left the field
with 10 minutes plus time-on still to play.
Both sides had their half-time break, then returned to the field and played the reminder of the
second quarter.
Once a Parksider, Always a Parksider
