Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

Parkside provided the only mild surprise of the round eleven; they were just a little too strong for
Sunshine YC at Sunshine. Parkside’s Leo Daglish who was an FDFL identity for years gave the club
one of his best performances. Parkside 5.14-76 d. Sunshine 6.9-45.

Spotswood for the second time in the 1980 season had great difficulty beating Parkside, and game
was a thriller. The return of Rod O’Connor strengthened Parkside and he was greatly assisted by G.
Rees. Spotswood 14.11-95 d. Parkside 12.8-80.

The next round had brought a thriller match between Parkside and West Footscray at Parkside with
the home side holding on to win by 4 points.

Parkside’s Mark Komp was voted best on the ground for the second week in succession and had
gone to the lead in Bendigo Builder Award.

Parkside were also well served by Matthew Byrachevskii who was showing an obvious improvement,
after his short stay with Footscray earlier in the season. Parkside 13.14-92 d. Kingsville 11.17-83.
