The Times recorded that, “The battle for second spot on the ladder saw Parkside retain that position
by inflicting Deer Park's fourth loss for the season by 10 points. It was a top effort by Parkside and
the win consolidated their second position. They are a game plus percentage ahead of their closest
rival Deer Park with only six games to play.

From a good Parkside combination Paul Burgess, Michael Cammerino, Harold Kelly, Michael Svilar
and Robert Bloom, stood out. For Deer Park John Zerafa, Brian Duggan, Shane Madigan and Michael
Jones played well.” Parkside 11.13.79 d Deer Park 10.9.69

“Parkside got a big fright when Albion blitzed them in the first quarter, kicking eight goals two
behinds to Park-side’s solitary point. But Parkside in the second quarter kicked 10 goals six behinds
and kept the Cats scoreless to get back in the game.

From half-time, it was anyone's game but the Parkers finished better to record a 26-point victory.

Wayne Killen gave a best-on-ground performance for Parkside and received support from George
Messis, Paul Burgess and Michael O’Keefe. “

“It’s amazing how heavy grounds bring teams back to a level playing field. On Saturday, playing on
very heavy grounds, the top four FDFL A1 grade teams, Spotswood, Parkside, Deer Park and Altona
were all beaten.

Kingsville playing at home, kept Parkside goalless after half-time to register a top win, their fifth for
the season.
