Gum trees on the oval, maybe you were connecting the sacred oval with the sacred indigenous bush it was. Marngrook between the trees.
The changing of the venue!
Grade six we St Johns primary, a small school were undefeated all season against catholic, pagan and proddoes. We had beaten our GF opponents two weeks before, doubling their score it was a romp.
Day of GF spring rain constant. We show up to find FTG oval awash and the council has banned us from playing and we had to set up on the not maintained and unmowed soccer area. Branches for goals making a mockery of our magnificence.
We lost by a point coming home like a train, their mob with the bell which our priest Father Miller reckoned they rang early.
Shifting venue on day of GF burns to this and my dying day.
