SAFF Awards night at the Oxen bar

SAFF proudly presents the winners of the Lars Hagberg medal

According to tradition, SAFF invited all clubs for a grand evening at the Oxen bar in Stockholm last Sat. The presentation of the Lars Hagberg medal for SAFF best and fairest and a SAFF all-star team, new for this year, was in the hands of MC Ryan Kingsley.

The odds on the combination of  winners, well-earned Årsta’s Robert Young and Falun’s Henrik Andersson was being played at 7.5 times the money in the back room earlier under the day, but as the odds dropped shortly before the presentation to little more than the money back, in combination with MC Kingsley winning the tipping comp earlier, a sucpicion arose that there is a leakage from the SAFF headquarters. A disgruntled Joel Burnell was overheard mumbling “this would have paid our ticket for the honey moon trip, and now I have nothing, NOTHING!

A big thanks to relentless Dave Carde, for arranging the evening, and for making the chocolate cakes for dessert(!!!), and a huge congratulations to Rob and to Henrik – playing his first season aussie rules ever, good job!!!
