It was the 2012 Grand Final rematch between Södermalm and Bromma, approximately 7 months earlier it was Bromma who were successful, this time Söder. It was a team that comprised of a Spaniard, a Finn, an American, a few Aussies, a few Swedes, and a Murph (sounds like the start of a joke).
Söder entered the match with several new faces who were keen to stamp their authority and they didn’t disappoint.
Remembrance ceremony. Kudos to Martin Schulte-Hötte for the pic!

Already before the start of the season Södermalm’s two national team players show good form.
Martin represented SAFF in the regional game in Malmö last weekend. Although Skåne got up by 7 goals Martin had a solid performance. Allegedly the regional coach was asking after the game “Why aren’t there MORE Söder players in the Dynamite squad?”
On the 10th of April Natis went down to Copenhagen to play the in the 2nd leg of the “Kennelly – O’Loughlin Showcase” The best players in Europe mixed with the Australian U18’s team for a friendly game. The game was played in front of AFL legends Dipper, Tadhg Kennelly and Michael O’Loughlin. Coach Dan McClaer was asking after the game “Why AREN’T there more Söder players in the National team?”
It didn’t take long until the new coaching regime changed the way we think about training completely. We are now doing pre-season training indoors and outdoors! Outdoors on Wednesdays at 18.30 at Årstafältet and indoors on Sundays at Globala Gymnasiet. Be there!
Södermalm is happy to present this season’s new recruits. Ben ‘Big C’ Condon and Jonas ‘JJ’ Jormedal recieved their official Södermalm jersey at registration nightand before an enthusiastic crowd of Söder players. We also expect great performances from Rob ‘Mr T’ Njoku, Luke ‘warm’ Croome and to draw advantage from the experience of Daniel ‘D-day’ Perillo, a seasoned veteran of Dynamite 2006!
The jersey presentation has traditionally been the highlight of registration nigh, and we can promise no one will be disappointed. We got some fresh new recruits and a mystery coach who will introduce himself! Be there and check it out for yourself. Be there, 19.00 @O’Learys Liljeholmen to kick off the season of 2013!
