Grand Final

Årsta will handle the BBQ so bring your friends and come cheer for the mighty Södermalm!
See you there!
The field was moist like a maiden’s freshly washed hair and the air was crisp like starched linen. High dry Low wet conditions like these promised both fast and skilful play. Although both teams were already through to the finals no one was expecting an easy game. Årsta was out for their first win against Söder who in turn wanted to show that the 2 mishaps against Bromma and Solna earlier were just that. Södermalm got off to a bad start with returning big man Chris Koelmeyer injuring himself in the very first ruck contest. A busted ankle meant that he was out for the rest of the game. We keep our fingers crossed that he will be back for the grand final.
On near perfect conditions for footy, the södermalm football team was playing Solna FC and was determined not to make it 3 losses on the trot for season 2009. The game was very close up to 3 quarter time, where the scores were level 35 all. Söder were playing terrible footy and keeping solna’s final chances alive.
This was all to change as coach jordo gave the söder player his famous 3 quarter reeming telling them to pull there heads in and to get out there play play real footy!!! True to his words, the söder boys came out in the last quarter and blew Solna off the paddock along with their 2009 finals aspirations!
Kicking 3 goals into a strong breeze and keeping Solna goal less in the last quarter the blue baggers sealed the victory, and also cemented there place in the 2009 SAFF grand final and once again are minor premiers of SAFF.
The final score was: Södermalm 8.14.52 def Solna 5.6.36
