Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

The FDFL recognised Lindsay's coaching ability by appointing him coach of the FDFL Under 14 team
which played in Adelaide. Also representing our Club and the League on that trip were Bob Turner
(Runner) and Peter Clarke (Trainer) together with players Mark Clarke and Mark McSweeney.

Congratulations to Mark Clarke on winning the Best and Fairest Award.

Under 11

Don Brown-Kerr was again in charge of our Under 11’s. Don's unique coaching style ensured the
boys all had an enjoyable year and learnt about Aussie Rules football.

Don received tremendous help from Gary Waters (Team manager/Runner), Minty Nichols (Trainer),
Mal Browne-Kerr Snr and Mal Browne-Kerr Jnr.

Congratulations to Bobbie Sambevski who won the Best and Fairest and went on to play in the
Under 13 Premiership side.

Under 9

Wayne Salt once again undertook the daunting task of coaching the Club's Under 9’s. With limited
numbers Wayne was able to achieve same excellent results.

Wayne was supported throughout the year by Allan Douglas (Goal Umpire), Graeme Wickson (Time-
keeper), Gary Knuckley (Trainer), Cassie Pietrelli (Trainer) and Mark Shinmen (Runner).

Khau Chu won the Best and Fairest Award and showed that he is a player of the future.

APPRECIATION

As is always the case with an organisation such as ours there are many who give freely and
generously of their time to ensure the Club runs efficiently and smoothly.

Those that have undertaken specific tasks with particular teams have been mentioned previously in
this report but there are many who have helped the Club in general.

To try to list each member individually is not possible available but, collectively, the Club appreciates
your efforts.

Worthy of special mention are the Club's Committee, all of whom have put in a long and hard
season, Gladys Dale-Kerr who ran the Canteen and made a profit in excess of $1600, Clive Blair who
continues to run the Club's Sunday functions and Herb Pascarl who cleans our Clubrooms
throughout the season.

Once a Parksider, Always a Parksider
