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.
1-2-3 BAM!
Last weekend, Södermalm defeated Årsta in the second derby of the season. Viewers agreed Åsta still lack the stability and routin to beat well organized Södermalm, despite strong individual performances and a set of young enthusiastic Swedes in the team. Captain Max and Jordo Jr delivered 7 of Söders 12 goals, but it was the return of Marcus Rappacio, Söder veteran, to the goalsheet that got the crowd going mad!
The final score was 93 – 55 to Södermalm and good footy was reassuring, but the news shortly after that Jordo Jr – this years favourite for the SAFF best and fairest – was going back to Oz after being misinformed that winter starts in September already sent chockwaves through the organization. Petter promised to update the club webpage with a climate section straight away, just using his iPhone, and from the President’s office inquireies are being made to order beaneis with the club logo, just to be safe.

Bye bye Seabass
Södermalm is back in the game after a long summer break, and face Falun Diggers in the only away gameof the year. The Diggers have been struggeling the first half of the season, but can be expected to be strengthened by playing on home turf. “This game is not to be taken lightly, especially not with our latest debacle in mind” coach Paul said, referring to the loss against Solna. Injured Sean “Kungen” on the same subject – “We need to harden the f*** up!”
With a few injuries, some off to vacation, and Lars playing IC Cup in Australia, still the most shocking loss was revealed during the summer break – Austria’s best footy player, the jolly green giant, the man who could sell ice to an eskimo, Sebastian “Seabass” Dorda is leaving Stockholm bound for London with a hot shot job offer. Good luck Seabass!
Back on the footy field, a win against falun would again secure a comfortable lead for the remaining two games befor play off and grand Final.
In a game as tight and wet as the snuggling at Timbi’s going away party later that night, Södermalm team spirit and hard work can make up for missing key players. The 4 Swedes, minimum number allowed onfield, had to workhard thoughout the game, and Luke and Shakesperare, playing their first Södermalm game ever, gave two subs altogether.
Nevertheless, running, talking, handballing, kicking, sheparding, from everyone througout the game from all players – as a team should work – allowed Södermalm to end up on top. The final score was 95-66.
