Arguably the last game between these two clubs as NSL powers. Preston began their fall the following year.

[@paulmavroudis2958]

I think they won the Dockerty Cup the following season? But yes, they were soon on the decline as an NSL force.

[@kevinhisee4265]

They had that big win in Adelaide the following season, but it was decline time all the same.

[@kotchstevens2321]

another bumpy pitch .. the players now days r living the dream with modern drainage & perfect playing surfaces..

[@paulmavroudis2958]

This game's goal is one of my favourite South goals - great teamwork and movement.

[@samueljonis434]

At 19:15 ...... now that is hair!!!

[@barrycade9803]

Preston were called the Rams at one stage. I wonder why?

[@ChasinRainbows]

I'm pretty sure that was Pascoe Vale mate

[@sayerma]

Yes they were. There was a move in the 80's by Soccer Australia to re-name the clubs with dumb nicknames like Sydney City Slickers etc. They chose Rams for Preston. Safe to say they never caught on Haha

​@@sayermare tried in the 90a like it was a new concept. South decided to change their name to lakers until a sporting club from Las Angeles demanded they change it.
