Parkside Football Club 1897/2017
A3 Grade
Graham Summers was first connected with our Club in 1961 and has played in excess of 260 games.
In 1982 he accepted the position of coach of the A3 team. This is an arduous task as the team must
always play on the opposite venue to the A1 and A2 teams and Graham is to be congratulated on the
successful season he enjoyed.
This success would not have been possible without the help of Harold Philistin (Trainer), Margaret
Philistin (Time-keeper), Steven Tzatzaris (Boundary Umpire) and Peter Clarke (Goal Umpire)
The club congratulates Bob Rice on winning the Best and Fairest Award, one of many awards Bob
has won with our Club.
Under 17
Mich Bochford was appointed coach of our Under 17 team for season 1982. The side took the field
for the first game of the season with 16 players, three of whom were Under 15's. Through Mick and
his helpers hard work the team improved greatly and eventually contested the finals.
Thanks go to Malcolm Berg (Manager), Peter Favaro (Trainer), Lee Moore (Time-keeper), John
Ktenidis (Boundary Umpire) and Leo Cammerino (Goal Umpire).
Congratulations to Souli Ktenidis who won the FDFL U17 Best and Fairest Award and to Michael
Considine who won the Club Award.
Under 15
A Grade player Gary Adams accepted the position of Under 15 coach. Although Gary had plenty of
players his team found the competition in Division 1 a little strong. It is a measure of Gary's
popularity that his players stuck by him despite their lack of success.
Thanks to Craig Ball (Manager), Gabe Ciavarella (Runner), Craig Thompson (Boundary Umpire), Mal
Browne-Kerr (Goal Umpire), Austin Hoy (Time-keeper) and Shane Allen (Trainer).
Congratulations to George Ikonomou on winning the Best and Fairest Award and to Paul McSweeney
on his selection to represent the FDFL in Adelaide.
Under 13
Lindsay Murphy led our Under 13 team to the Club's only premiership for 1982. Lindsay's side fought
back from losing the second semi-final to convincingly win the Grand Final.
Once a Parksider, Always a Parksider
