Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

A New Rivalry Is Born

New addition to the League, I.C.I. (Deer Park) proved to be a strong team.

Sunshine Advocate has recorded the first game between Parkside and Deer Park (I.C.I)

I.C.I. v. PARKSIDE

“These teams met for the first time on Saturday last, and despite the fact that I.C.I. were without
their two stars, Greig and Glen, they put up a good game against the leaders in the league. Parkside
were also weakened by the absence of one or two players, but they are a well organised side with
many years’ experience of playing together. Taking everything into consideration the first season
I.C.I. side are to be congratulated, in running such a strong team to 13 points.”
