This past Saturday Södermalm Blues began their foray into the inaugural AFL Sweden Elitserien competition where in the first round they welcomed the Port Malmö Maulers to the historic JCG on the ANZAC Day which marked the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings.

Congratulations to our very own Larry who together with Cici, won Let’s Dance Sweden 2015!! Unless you have spent the last few days under a rock, you would have surely seen the celebrations through the streets of Stockholm and in fact all around Sweden.
Larry’s trademark leap (pictured below) helped win him a place in the final on Friday night, and with a twinkle in his eye, he dazzled the judges and more importantly, all the TV viewers at home to take out the coveted Red Glass Shoe Trophy! (left)
Equally as impressive was the fact that he showed up for Söder on Saturday and played a great game of footy in our victory over Malmö! All spectators at the match agreed that his ‘quick step’ routine in the backline had the Malmö players bamboozled!
Congratulations Larry and let’s hope Söder can add some more silverware from the footy field to your collection later this year!
This Saturday will see the launch of the new national league Elitserien, and what better place to kick off the competition than at the JCG. The Söder board made a bold decision at the start of the year to enter Söder as one of the four teams in this new 12 a-side competition. But the players got behind the idea and have been working hard during pre-season to be ready to take on the rest of Sweden. The first game starts at 13.30 and features Södermalm Blues vs. Port Malmö Maulers. Stockholm Dynamite takes on Helsingborg Saints in the second match.
The club is running the BBQ so you know it’s going to be a good one. Come down and support the boys in blue and don’t miss out on this historic event!
Congratulations to Sweden and the two Söder representatives Max & Mick Larsson, who won the Nordic Challenge last weekend 18th April!
Sweden defeated both Denmark and Norway to take the crown as the best in the Nordics!
The Söder players turned up in style and numbers at O’Connells in order to kick off the 2015 season. The only one not wearing a tie was Bluey, who as per usual was kitted up and ready to go. A mix of old and new faces pondered the upcoming season over a few beers while Mick did his best to recruit anyone with a pulse. President Burnell rallied the troops with an inspiring speech, letting everyone know what’s expected of them this year. Of course the question on everybody’s mind: “How are we going to avoid another Grand Final defeat?” The answer, as obvious as surprising, bring back the championship coach from 2009, Danne Jordansson! This got the guys excited and the party went on until the late hours with Bluey closing the pub in a closet.
