Parkside Football Club 1897/2017
With the formation of the Footscray Junior League this year the old name was again revived. Several
old players and some younger new men blended into a formidable side. The great all-round ability of
this team is shown by the big margins in their favour in most games.
Some remarkable scores have been put up, the highest being 186 points to six against C.Y.M.S.
Excelling in all phases of the game, the system, high marking and dashing ground work placed the
team far above the standard usually shown by a junior team.
Parkside and Braybrook met in the final, the former winning by 38 points. With the premiership go
the Footscray Advertiser Shield and a pennant given by Cr. G. Farnsworth, the Footscray League
delegate. The consistently good form was shown by some young players, among whom Dell,
Conabere, Wishart, L. and W. Herring, Pascarl, Peart and Rogers may develop, into valuable senior
players.”
