Parkside suffered another big loss on the road in round 14 against Spotswood. Winning all over the
ground Spotty players run well and showed plenty of skill. Parkside’s best were Michael O’Keefe,
Michael Shepperbottom, Larry Simmons and John Barnett. Spotswood 25.20-170 d. Parkside 12.18-
84.

Parkside responded to a big loss in style by beating Deer Park in the following round.

Deer Park opened well by leading by two goals at the quarter time after kicking against a strong
breeze. Deer Park, however, thought the wind should do it for them and stopped running. Halftime
saw Deer Park leading but then Parksides got into top gear to run all over them in the second half.
As a spectator one would have thought Parks were fighting for the double chance in the finalseries.
Best players for Parks were Harold Kelly, Craig Watt, Michael O’Keefe, Peter May and Anthony
McQualter. Parkside 8.10-58 d. Deer Park 6.9-45.
