On a sunny but windy Anzac day Södermalm kicked off the season by losing a tough game against the Solna Axemen 94 – 84. In the second game Bromma defeated Årsta 70 – 61.
A new, younger Södermalm team graced the fields of Årsta in Round 1 of the SAFF 2010 competition. With no fewer than 7 players making their club debuts, the Blues got off to a great start in the 1st Qtr into the wind to lead by 3 goals at qtr time.

After the double header on sunday the Stockholm Netball Club will be ready to escort everyone interested to GIH (Gymnastik och idrottshögskolan, near Stadion) where the first ever open day will be held. Kids are more than welcome to the open day as sunday is the start for junior netball in Sweden.
For those of you not familiar with netball it is a social, fun and safe sport derived from basketball.
Please see the Stockholm Netball Club homepage for more information.
Trainings for the rest of the spring will be held on Thursdays except from the weeks when we play friday night games when training will be held on Wednesdays. Time and place is still 18.00 at Årstafältet.
