Parkside came out on top 2-1 in the West Cumberland Sunday League’s clash of the heavyweights.
Hosts Northside also boasted an unbeaten record but at the end of a hard-fought, always close encounter Parkside just about deserved their win.
All the goals came in the first 20 minutes with Northside taking the lead through Jamie Bramley before two quick goals from Tom Mahone and Ryan Maguire edged Parkside in front.
Despite the best efforts of both sides this Premier Division contest failed to produce another goal.
