Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

The Zeno Tzatzaris and Peter Clarke on winning the respective "A" Grade and Reserves Grade Best
and Fairest awards goes our congratulations.

As this is my last year as President it would be remiss of me not to thank my wife Karol and my two
young sons Guy and Kane who for the last three years have had to play second fiddle to an ever
demanding Football Club.

My conscience is now clear as I have served my time for the club that has rewarded me with my
friendships and fond memories.

It is time for the new broom to enter and ensure that the next step is taken towards the ultimate
success of an "A" Grade Premiership.

I trust I leave the club in a better condition than in which I found it three years ago, and look forward
to assisting in whatever way is deemed fit by the incoming President.

Secretary’s Report 1993

The 1993 Football season for Parkside has been a year of consolidation. Our start to the year was
very shaky to say the least mainly due to the unavailability of personnel for various reasons, but with
a lot of hard work, recruitment, and commitment of everybody involved in this great club, the club
once participated in an

Al Seniors Finals Series finally finishing in 4th position a great effort and something to build on.

Our Reserves Team started the season slowly as in previous years, mainly due to the lack of
commitment required by players to put in on the training track, hence being beaten in games where
they ran out of condition. With half the season the penny had dropped and the team finished the
season as well as any club in the competition to finish just out of the finals "SHOULD HAVE BEEN
THERE".

U18 Team unfortunately had to fold during the season, mainly due to lack of numbers in which it
makes it very difficult to be competitive. "An area to be worked on".

U16 Team played out the full season and had its ups & downs but stuck together and had a couple of
wins for the season. Congratulations to all concerned on a job well done.

Once a Parksider, Always a Parksider
