The field was moist like a maiden’s freshly washed hair and the air was crisp like starched linen. High dry Low wet conditions like these promised both fast and skilful play. Although both teams were already through to the finals no one was expecting an easy game. Årsta was out for their first win against Söder who in turn wanted to show that the 2 mishaps against Bromma and Solna earlier were just that. Södermalm got off to a bad start with returning big man Chris Koelmeyer injuring himself in the very first ruck contest. A busted ankle meant that he was out for the rest of the game.

The inaugural Södermalm Curling Championship was held last Thursday at Sundbyberg Curlinghall. The teams that made the final were Yellow (Michael Bourke, Mark McManus, Brissles, Joel Burnell) and Blue (Jordo, Ivan, Lars).

The silly season has just started and the Bromma Vikings have made their first recruit – a mascot!
An anonymous source who wants to be referred to as “Bones” says: “We are doing everything to become a serious club and a mascot seemed like the obvious start.” We can only congratulate them, all they need to do now is to set up a proper board, get their finances in order, organise a trainer and win a few games. Our source continues: “We’re a club with many young players so we wanted something that speaks ‘Youth’ and also looks powerful.” The mascot’s name? Captain Kirk!
