The Mail claimed that, “The two clubs (Parkside and Port Colts) head and shoulders above the rest of
the competition, should turn on a ripper at the Colts' home ground on Sunday, June 28.

is little competition facing the Magpies and the Colts.”
The Mail, June 1998
Parkside 17.15-117 d. Deer Park 8.9-57

After round ten, “Port Colts have cemented their position at the top of the FDFL table with a 42-
point win over second-placed Parkside in what was billed the match of the year.
