Posted in June with tags Brightwood, Petworth, Sports on June 9, 2009 by KentJune 9, 1909: Brightwood defeated Petworth in the Suburban League on Petworth’s grounds. There was a large crowd despite the threatening weather. Errors were plentiful on account of the slippery grounds, and erratic playing nearly cost each side the game. Besides all the excitement of the game, a near-riot was enacted by a crowd of rooters along the third-base line, when several of the spectators began to mix things up. The final score was Brightwood 8, Petworth 5.
