Seriously, it’s great to see Rod back playing, as together with Ron Brown and Barry Priest they are
doing an excellent job in coaching the FDL open age inter-leagueside.”

“West Footscray, who are becoming very hard to predict, defeated Parkside by 35 points in a game
which opened with one of the most skilful and fast quarters seen for many seasons.

Both sides kicked four goals each with Parks leading by one point. During the second term West took
over due mainly to a brilliant display by Joe Ebeyer. They opened up a 13-point lead at half time.

The third term was level. However, West finished too strong to record a 35-point win. Peter Starford
the FDL’s other grand final umpire from last season was in charge of this game.”

“Parkside recorded an easy 63 point victory at the hands of Seddon. Seddon’s younger players tried
very hard particularly Grant Hodges and Francis Duckworth; however, it was all round experience of
Parkside that eventually proved too much for their younger opponents.

Parkside’s young Trevor Lockwood has proved a great asset to his club since coming up through the
junior ranks including under 17 best and fairest. Lockwood has kicked 38 goals for the season and is
proving a very worthwhile footballer.”
