Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

Marty Saunders who has played with the Club since U9 won the Best and Fairest award and it is
hoped he continues with the Club as he has plenty of potential.

UNDER 11

First time coach Gary Waters took charge of our U11 team. Gary was short of members for most of
the season but his team managed to win their share of games.

Gary had several hard workers during the year and in particular Joe Tomasello, Garry Greeves, Alan
Douglas and Pam Greskie.

Khau Chu won his second Best and Fairest award for the Club and was again unlucky in the FDFL
voting to finish second once more.

UNDER 9

Peter Bessell was re-appointed coach of our U9's. Boys of this age group are very difficult to coach
but Peter has managed to transform this team into a very competitive unit whilst also concentrating
on teaching the lads to play the game correctly.

Peter had an enthusiastic team of helpers including Graham Wickson, John Meagher, D. McFarlane,
D. Statton, W. Hall, Len Cook and K. Peterson.

Peter Guida won the Club's and the FDFL Under 9 Best and Fairest awards and the Club
congratulates him on his victories.

APPRECIATION

The Parkside Football Club fields eight teams in the FDFL and to do so requires considerable time
and effort from many people. To thank all who make this commitment would fill many pages so to
you all, on behalf of our Club, thank you.

Once a Parksider, Always a Parksider
