*****

“Parkside just “fell in” against an inaccurate West Footscray at West. Level at three quarter time
West added 2.7 in the last term while Parkside shot straighter for 3.3 to win by two points.

Gary Considine, Parkside’s centre half-forward controlled the game and when he left the field during
the third term West got back on top. Considine returned to the field in the last term to score two
goals and assure his club remained undefeated. Leo Daglish assisted Considine.”

Parkside 13.14 (92) d. West Footscray 12.18 (90) Goals: Goad 6, G. Considine 3, D. Considine,
Byrachevski, O’Connor and Casey.

“North Footscray defeated Parkside in round four by 26 points. Opening with the wind Parks rammed

added two goals against the wind while Parks could only manage one with it.

Best for Parkside included Rod O’Connor and Robert Goad.”

For Parkside, their best players were Gordon Casey, Robert Camminiti and Gary Considine.”
