BRAYBROOK FOOTBALL C Grade's First Defeat

“It took the excellent combination of Parkside C Grade to lower the dignity of our C team by soundly
defeating them last Saturday, under perfect condlitions. No excuses can be offered, and our chaps
will need to put their best foot forward to defeat this team later in the year. It was a very low scoring
game. The final scores were 5 goals 10 behinds to 3 goals 6 behinds.”

BRAYBROOK TEAMS WIN AGAIN

“Rain spoilt what might have been an excellent game last Saturday, when Braybrobk A met the
formidable Parksides at the Yarraville Football, Ground. Parksides had beaten West Footscray the
previous week and the result of our game against the Black and Whites was keenly anticipated. From
the very first bounce Braybrook took the offensive and were never headed all day, winning by 4 goals
2 behinds. The final scores were 12.10 to 8.8. The team was evenly balanced, no player being very
outstanding, and with the inclusion of two or three more big men, who are injured, Braybrook looks
favorite for the premiership pennant.”

“Playing at home Sunshine were no match for the strong Parkside team. Unable to cope with height
and weight of the bigger opponents, the locals were out classed in most departments with the
Parksiders winning by a comfortable margin. Scores 26.20 to 3.6.”
