Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

*****

“St Albans with a strong last-term effort got up to snatch victory from Parkside by just two points at
King's Park. It was justice for Set Albans as they had gone under by two points in the opening round
of the season and there appears to be little between the clubs.

Parkside's defeat has cost it top position and it is now only one game clear of North Footscray for the
double chance, with those two clubs still to meet again in Round 16.

Star of the St Albans victory was their champion, Jim Blyth who seems to be getting better each week
and at this stage of the season appears to have a strangle hold in the Bendigo Building Society
Award.

Blyth was well supported by the also consistent Geoff Cooper while for Parkside their best player was
Ron Punshon.”
