Parkside Football Club 1897/2017
Parkside finished the 1985 season Minor Premiers by finishing on top of the table with 14 wins, 1
draw and 3 losses.
In the first semi-final Albion were better side defeating Parkside by 42 points.
“Albion gave a first class display in the heavy conditions on Sunday to easily beat Parkside and go
into this year’s FDL grand final. From the first bounce, the cats attacked the ball with the aggression
and desire that wins finals games.
Parkside showed weaknesses that must be overcome in a hurry. But Parks’ coach, Gordon Casey,
knows the ropes and should be able to provide a few answers. “
“Sunshine YCW struck top form and played as a team to put Parkside out of the FDL finals.
YCW applied pressure from the first bounce. Mick Kelly continually drove them into attack and Greg
Waring inspired their team mates.
Parkside had good players in Matt Byrachevski, Butch Edwards and Paul Barbuto.
Parkside must feel disappointed about missing out on the grand final after finishing on top of the
FDL ladder, one game clear.” Preliminary Final: Sunshine YCW 18.22. (130) d. Parkside 10.9. (69)
