At 15.00 Södermalm met up at the sponsor pub O’Learys, Liljeholmen for the AGM. One hour later the board had been re-elected and the wheels set in motion for 2013. The long discussions had given everyone a dry throat so after a few cold ones the group headed straight to Gullmarsplan for the Söder Bowling Championship. Everyone except Murf who went home to get his bowling pants.
A new format was introduced this year; speed bowling, so after a quick training round the championship begun. Favourites were falling left, right and centre. Brissles couldn’t get his mojo working and tried slow rolling it in the end but Continue reading
As the only representative from Stockholm Södermalm will participate in the indoor cup this
coming Saturday. We’re sending a team of 6 players: Tarzan, Natis, Martin,
Rappa, Lethal and of course Bluey. We wish them good luck!
On Sunday the national team will hold a training camp which is a great
opportunity for Natis and Martin to show their skills for this year’s European
Championship and next year’s International Cup.
Söder will also be representing SAFF at the AFL Sweden AGM.
The Södermalm AGM takes place on Sunday the 20th of January at 15.00 at our sponsor pub O’Learys (Liljeholmen). All members are welcome so come along and make your impact on the future of the club. Nominations for board positions can be submitted until the 13th of January. The same goes for any motions.
Afterwards we head off to Gullmarsplan for the Södermalm Bowling championship. The tournament starts at 18.00 and the entry fee is a mere 100 kr, the club covers the rest.
AGM Agenda, Södermalm AFC, 2013-01-20
The second leg of the social season, the Södermalm Pool Competition, was completed this Friday. 15 contenders (including Bluey) lined up at Biljardapalatset on Kungsholmen. After a qualifying system, which from here on will be known as ‘Round Brissles’, and quarter finals the group was decimated to 4 players. The first semi final saw Ben Condon beating Coach Stephens. In the other semi final Max fell short after sinking the white ball with only the eight ball to go, sending Jordo into the final and through the roof. The final was a hard fought event where Ben in the end managed to outplay the two time runner up Jordo, and bring home the Ivan Rexed memorial shield.
Here are the dates for next year from AFL Sweden.
Although Jönköping doesn’t have a team, both the indoor cup and Sweden Cup will be held there in order to facilitate travelling for all clubs. Of course Södermalm wants to represent at both events.
Caoch Paul interviewed in the Local where he talks about Australia, Sweden and his favourite football club in Stockholm.
While the rest of Södermalm took a well deserved rest in front of the chess app, Natis went to the EuroCup and played a cracker of a tournament. So well that he got picked for the Tournament Team. We all knew he is a great player, now the rest of Europe knows. Get that up ya!
EuroCup News!
The Swedish Elks ended up second in their group after beating France and Austria but losing to Croatia. Unfortunately the tournament ended already in the quarter final. The Elks lost against the Poms after a couple of controversial decisions. “Frustrating” says coach Daniel McClaer. Södermalm proudly represented by Natis ‘Naitanui’ Johansson.
The Söder supporters had rallied en masse, the weather was close to ideal, the boys in blue were ripped and ready to go. Perfect conditions for a grand final as this season’s two top teams walked onto the field.
Bromma got off to an early lead and Söder faced the first two quarters fighting to keep up on the score board. In the third quarter Söder got the running handballing game working and a few quick goals put them in front by 8 points. Things were looking up but Bromma quickly came back and retook the lead. The Söder boys never dropped their heads and battled hard until the final whistle went. In a hard fought and physical game Söder finally had to accept defeat and yet again settle for minor premiers.
A great effort from all the Söder boys. Big thanks to all the fans for coming out and supporting us.

Friday the 6th of August 2012, a day of real footy and a date that goes down in history for footy in Stockholm and Sweden.
The match Södermalm Blues V’s Norrtälje Dockers was originally scheduled to be played at rugby fields at Årstafället. However the stalwart of the Södermalm Football Club and all round club legend, Larry Hagberg and co. had other ideas.
