Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

UNDER I7

Lindsay Murphy again coached our under 17 team and like our senior side had an excellent year of
home and away games, finishing in 3rd position; again like the A1 side the under I7's were a little
disappointing come finals time.

Lindsay was also a selector for the P.D.F.L. under 17 side which included the following players,
Darren Cavanagh, Louis Sambevski, Jurgen Hopma. The club would like to congratulate these players
along with Damian Zanic who represented Footscray 3rd's.

Lindsay has indicated to the committee that he will not be seeking reappointment in season 1986.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Lindsay for his tremendous service and loyalty to the
club, we must also thank Beryl for the effort she has put into the club over the years and wish them
both well for the future.

Lindsay was helped out during the year by Don Browne-Kerr Snr. (RUNNER), Peter Richards
(TRAINER), Beryl Murphy (TIMEKEEPER) and Alan Nitschke ( TEAM MANAGER).

The Under 17 Best and Fairest was won by Louis Sambevski with Darren Cavanagh runner up.

JUNIOR TEAMS

I have not written a report on our junior teams, as this year we had a Junior Administrator in Mr.
Gary Cocks. Gary’s report will follow my own; however I would personally like to take this
opportunity to thank Gary, all of our Coaches, Team Managers, Trainers and Time-Keepers on a job
well done all year.

APPRECIATION

The Parkside Football Club field eight teams in the F.D.F.L. and to do so requires a great deal of time
and effort from many people.

To thank every-one that make this commitment would fill many pages so to you all, on behalf of our
club, THANK - YOU.

Personal thanks must go to Gladys Browne-Kerr who organises and works in our canteen and Pat
McDougall who is time-keeper for our A1 & A2 teams and then spends the night at Bingo.

SPONSORSHIP

Once again the club has been fortunate to have the financial backing from many local businesses.

The support given by the Rising Sun Hotel has been outstanding and to the management and in
particular Bernie O’Connor the club wishes to say thank you. To the other organisations who
supported our club, we also say thank you and look forward to your continued association with the
club.

Once a Parksider, Always a Parksider
