As they were approaching the end of the home and away season, the Parks found themselves
struggling to maintain a good form.

In round 14, Hoppers Crossing easily beat Parkside by 63 points.

“Parkside’s hopes of a final-five finish were dashed by Hoppers Crossing at Hogans Rd.

The Warriors, trailing by eight points at the main break, kicked a staggering 15 goals to two in the
second half to run out convincing 68-point winners - a result that would have pleased Coach Larry
Simmons.
