Parkside Football Club 1897/2017
Those officials who helped Lindsay throughout the season were Peter Dodd (Team Manager), Peter
Clarke, Gary Waters and Max Liddy (Trainers), Bob Turner (Runner), Shirley Dodd (Time-keeper) John
Johnston (Goal Umpire) and Gory Turner (Boundary Umpire).
The Captain of our Under 13's, Paul McSweeney, won the Best and Fairest award and led the side by
example during the finals.
*****
UNDER 11
Don Browne-Kerr was once again in charge of the Under 11 team. Don had reasonable success on
the field and once again his extensive if unorthodox recruiting methods brought many new players
to the Club.
The Club wishes to thank Pat McDougall (Team Manager/Time-keeper), Don Browne-Kerr Jnr
(Runner), Mal Browne-Kerr (Goal Umpire), Mal Browne-Kerr Jnr (Boundary Umpire) and Gary Waters
(Trainer).
Timothy Dodd won the Club Best and Fairest award and polled well in the FDFL Voting.
*****
UNDER 9
This is the second year the Club has entered an Under 9 team and Wayne Salt was appointed Coach
this season. The side won as many games as it lost and several promising players will progress to the
Under 11 team next year.
Wayne's officials were Bruce Dolphin (Team Manager/Runner), Graham Wickson (Time-keeper),
Alan Douglas (Goal Umpire) and Frank Hecker (Trainer).

APPRECIATION
In a Club as big as ours there are many who give freely of their time to ensure that the Club is
successful.
I am sure that these people got all the thanks they wasted when the Club won the Premiership but I
would like to thank than formally for their work
Three people who deserve special mention are Gladys Browne-Kerr, Rose O'Brien and Clive Blair.
Gladys and Rose ran the Club caravan which was a financial bonanza for the Club and Clive runs our
Sunday morning social gathering twelve months of the year.
