Registration night!

Following on last year’s success we are again organizing Registration Night at our sponsor pub O’Learys. So mark Friday the 16th of March at 19.00 in your calendars. We will go through what is happening during the 2012 season; home & away fixture, training, trips, cups, events and what not. And of course the much appreciated jumper presentation!

What better way to kick off the season! And a great opportunity for the new guys to get to know all the faces in the club. If you have any friends that might be interested in playing, bring them along.

We need to book tables for the dinner so please reply to this e-mail to let us know who is coming and not.

Lock it in Eddie!

Updated Statistics, one aussie in top six

Today the statistics page got updated with the 2011 results. All in all 22 players contributed with 115 unique appearances and 159 goals kicked. Notably is also the swedish domination in the top six positions.

Lars ‘Lethal’ Hagberg broke the 50 game barrier this season (congratulations again!) and we hope to see a few more advance into the 50+ games next season.

Södermalm AGM and Bowling Championships

Saturday saw both work and pleasure. The AGM was a wrap-up in less than an hour, and under his firm leadership, Ivan “Baby Doc” Rexed, reshuffled the club board but managed to stay as President. Sean “Hardman” Hargreaves, who has been described as a rising star in the organization was elected VP, and John “Snooze” Murphy, who was moved next to tears when being told, took on the position as Secretary.

Henrik “Hanky” Engervall was busy elsewhere for the day, but sent a message loud and clear about was is to be expected from his term as Treasurer – “the negative result (-2500kr) is a disgrace, and will not be repeated, not on my watch anyway!” (The full financial report is available in the AGM minutes, free for any member to read. Just send the club an email).

Wikileaks’ founder Julian Assange was unavailable for comment, but this latest release is believed to be consistent with the company’s mission statement – providing free public access to previously restricted material.

A round-robin mini-tournament saw Joel and Brissles selected as pool A’s semifinalists, with Lars and Perezmo the best from pool B. Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting viewed proceedings from the VIP box, and said it made a nice change to watch a sporting contest in which both participants had similar ability levels: “even when Lars and Perezmo fell behind, they were always still in the game. They didn’t stand around for days hoping it would rain so they could call the match a draw.” Despite this tenacity, both lost. As a result, Joel and Brissles were left to face off in their second consecutive chess final.
