4-in-a-row at the 2012 Söder Chess Championship!

The 2012 Södermalm AFC Chess Championship took place last Friday night 23rd November at the now familiar Liljeholms-lokal.

Brissles with long-term coach Gary Kasparov

The night began with a panic as some of the boys forgot to bring a chess board, however a late scramble and door-knock of the area produced a 50 yr old Russian set with delicately hand-crafted pieces that became a talking point of the night.

Söder don’t slip on the path to minor premiership

Still undefeated with only two more games before the Grand Final, Söder faced Bromma for the first time this year. Heavy raining before the game transformed Årstafältet into something in between a footy field and a swimming pool. Söder remembered the golden rule of wet footy, man up behind your opponent, and pick up the ball! The final score was 96-47. A special thanks to Kungen on the BBQ!

The King Fisher!

Finally someone broke the 50 cm barrier in the fishing competition. Just off ‘Pike point’ in the mighty Nissan River, Sean pulled up a 69 cm pike at 13.00 today. Around 3 kilos he says and the lure was of course the yellow and orange ‘Pike buster’. We got a quick word with the aquatic avenger: “Well, it wasn’t a Mexican Marlin but whatever puts me in front in the comp will have to do. And I’ll tell you what, I’m sure this is the one I saw bumping ugly in the reeds earlier this year”. We only have two questions; can someone break the 70 cm barrier? And what’s up with the yellow nail polish Kungen?

The JCG is up!

The 4th of July is a historic date for footy in Stockholm. This is the birthday of Stockholm’s first footy oval and Söder’s new home ground, The JCG! The field measures 135m by 100m and has permanent goal posts. Visible in the background is Söder’s new club house, fully equipped with BBQ, showers and storage facility.

AFL live on Eurosport

Footy in Sweden has a golden opportunity this Saturday; Eurosport International is broadcasting the first game of the 2012 AFL season between newcomers GWS and Sydney, at 9.15 am. Please note that this is the main channel, not Eurosport 2, which means a lot more viewers than ordinarily since more people have access to it. Tune in and listen to your favourite Södermalm commentator Jonathon ‘Brissles’ Briscoe! He will more than happily answer any questions or comments you submit by sms.

Club welcome new sponsor

Södermalm AFC is proud to announce that both Södermalms trä and O’Learys Liljeholmen has chosen to continue their support for the club for another season. Their support the past seasons has been absolutely vital for the development of the club and of footy in the Stockholm region.

We are also happy to welcome Haninge industrigolv as our new sponsor! The immediate result will be seen on our new set of polo shirts which are included in the membership fee for 2012. If you can’t join for registration night at O’Learys Liljeholmen, Fri 16th, make to pay your rego, or social membership, and get your hands on the one of a kind, custom designed, club polo.
