It’s 1935 and the new team StAlbans GFC (StAlbans Gaelic Football Club) has been formed. There has been lots of talk that the team is the best team going around. They are yet to play a game but the players that they have on their list is amazing; Players like Adam Border, Anthony Tim and Jonathan Hosting etc. They are all talented players.
They season is about to start and I am excited to finally have the chance to watch StAlbans GFC. The players I have mentioned above are talents so there should be 10s of thousands of people there to watch them at there best. Round one sees StAlbans GFC play at home to Green Gully GFC. Gully were champions last year, beating Sunshine George Cross GFC 40 – 6.
The players enter the arena and there is a huge roar not for the champions but for the new comers StAlbans GFC, the champions on the other hand are disgusted and would like to see more respect towards them, because they are champions. Still the crowd roars and the players line up for the national anthem.
The game begins with StAlbans starting with the ball, and it’s Adam Border the captain who gets to start the first play. Adam passes it to Tony; Tony passes it Johnny and Johnny back to Adam, and Adam GGGOOOAAALLLLSSS!!! A six pointer for StAlbans GFC. The crowd goals wild YYYYEEEEHHHHHH!!!!!!! Adam and Johnny celebrate because it’s the first ever in the championship for StAlbans GFC.
All of a sudden the crowd feel a tremble, they get worried not knowing what it is. It stops and the crowd settle again. The crowd get focussed on the match again and StAlbans is winning at half time 18 – 12.
Again the crowd feel that mysterious tremble, but only this time they feel it a lot worse. Cracks start appearing in the sides of the stadiums and parts of the walls start falling off. One of the walls for straight on top of Adam and Tony! Johnny watches in despair as a 5 tonne concrete wall has crushed his team mates.
The stadium begins to collapse even worse with people in the crowd falling from the second level, that’s a 50-metre drop! Around 2500 people died in the tragic event. The StAlbans GFC now play a match every year devoted to the lives that were lost at the StAlbans GFC Stadium on the 6th of June 1935.
