Around 30 players, spouses and friends turned up for the 8th annual Söder Awards Night.  After a dinner featuring the culinary sensations of O’Learys the evening continued with the traditional medal presentation. The big winner this season Mick Larsson took another scalp by winning the Jordo Shield as Best and Fairest Söder player. Dylan, aka Ronnie Wearmouth, finally broke the curse of being the eternal runner up and brought home the Best and Fairest Australian. Jonas Raninen received the club man award, Martin the coach’s award, Jigga the most consistent player and Tanka goal kicker of the year. Unfortunately SBS was running a documentary on migratory birds the same night so several of the winners were absent.
Bobby Love graced us with one of his rare appearances and announced that he is hanging up the bib and ending his Netball career. He also said that he is contemplating strapping on the boots again. “But only with Jordo as coach” he said. “He never gives me more than 2 minutes on the field and with my fitness that’s just about what I can muster”. Another great awards night that didn’t end until we got kicked out by the O’Learys bar staff, perhaps for the last time?

For those ill-fated who couldn’t make it, you can view the medal presentation on the Söder home page under ‘Honour Roll’

The former champion from 2011 put everyone to shame in this year’s fishing competition. He got off to a flying start by landing a 61 cm / 2.1 kg gös in Gnesta. Next stop for the J-train was the coast outside Helsingborg where he recorded a 1.9 kg torsk. This is a new species for the club although we are still waiting for the log book from the charter boat in order to confirm that the catch was completed in Swedish territorial waters. Larry got on the bard with a 50 cm gädda but apart from that it has been quiet on the fishing front. Several contenders Continue reading →

Registration night is being held at our club sponsor O’Learys Liljeholmen on the 21^st of March. The booking is from 6 pm and dinner will start at 7 pm. Bluey Svensson has confirmed his attendance and will be giving out wise words and Celtic handshakes. Rumor has it that coach Bull and captain Dildo are going to say a few motivating words. And you might hear the club president say a few words as well. You don’t want to miss any of it!

Dress code: Club tie!

2014 – the year of the Blues started last Sunday with the Söder AGM. Twelve interested souls turned up at O’Learys to elect a board and discuss the season. Since all board positions were up for grabs we’re happy to announce a completely new board: President – The Kaj, VP – Theo, secretary – Jonas and treasurer – Iron Guts.

The meeting was followed by the annual bowling competition and for the first time in Söder history we had a junior competition as well as a senior.  After the usual practice round it was time for the championship round. Dylan got off to an early lead with 142 and looked like a strong contender as previous winners couldn’t deliver. Larry peaked too early, Bull overthrew his shots and Brissles possibly suffered from too much practice. However, the late finisher James smashed all competition with a whopping 196, the second highest winning score in the history of the bowling competition.  Congratulations to James! We’re just awaiting clearance from the Söder bowling committee regarding the use of one’s own personal bowling ball.

Bowling champ!
