Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

The club celebrated the third consecutive grand final and second premiership flag in September
1933. It was sweet revenge for Parkside after losing the grand final against the Riverside in the
previous year. Cynics would call it master versus the apprentice.

Junior League Honors To Parksides

Weight Overwhelms Riversides

“On Saturday last the grand final of the Junior League was played at Werribee, where a large crowd
was treated to a fast game. Weight was used unsparingly and this factor eventually won the day for
the solid Parkside combination. Much bigger in build, and trained to perfection, they swept the
Riversides off their feet in the closing stages to win comfortably.

The Riversides, however, were far from a disgraced, their fast and spectacular play during the second
quarter and the brilliant effort in the third quarter, left the opposition stranded. During this burst
seven goals were added to the Parksides' solitary one.

Final scores were: Parkside, 19-22 (136) to Riverside, 10-10 (70)

Goalkickers: Parkside - Murphy, 8, McKinnon 4, Worthington 2, J. E Sharp, Eason, A. Sharp, Herring,
R. Sainsbury.

Best players: Murphy, McKinnon, J. Sharp, Kimpton, L Findlay, Bentley, Coward, R. Sainsbury

Parksides will leave the social club today at 12.15 p.m. for a weekend holiday at Kyneton.”
