BRAYBROOK TO MEET PARKSIDES
“The match against Parksides tomorrow is to be played at the Footscray football ground, and in the
opinion of good judges of the game the winners of this match will be premiers. But they still have to
meet I.C.I. in the grand final on Satuirday week. With Len Falla and D. Fisher in Saturday's side, they,
will line up armed to the teeth, with condition, courage and will to win.”

Parkside entered another Grand Final in 1939, beating the Braybrook Football Club in the
preliminary final.
“Parksides defeated Braybrook in no uncertain manner last Saturday and now challenge I.C.I. for the
premiership. There is no real excuse for 'Brook's defeat. Naturally everybody is keenly disappointed
and feel that 'Brook had their day off and have nothing but sincere congratulation to offer all
Parksides, and to both "Parks" and I.C.I. we wish the best of luck in the final.”
