Parkside Football Club 1897/2017
*****
“In round four, Albion defeated Parkside by 9 points. After an inaccurate first quarter which saw the
Cats trail by six points they slowly got on the top of Parkside and during the third term kicked right
away to have an uncatchable lead.
Parkside, to their credit, fought back in the last quarter but to no avail as the Cats had stolen the
game.”
*****
“In a close torrid tussle Parkside led by just five points with 10 minutes to go. However, they were
able to get a run and kick four quick goals in the dying minutes of the game to record a good 31 point
victory.
Leigh Brett was again a dominating force for Parkside and he received many good tap outs from big
ruckman Rod O’Connor. Parkside 17.18 (120) d. St. Albans 13.11 (89).”
*****
Parkside, after trailing for most of the day, stormed home in the last quarter to defeat Kingsville by
12 points.
Trailing by 24 points at three quarter time Geoff Reeves, Gary Considine and Rod O’Connor
controlled the game and Parkside added seven goals to Kingsville’s solitary one.
