On a fantastic Day for footy, it was the 2 southern teams of Stockholm going head to head!
Last time they met was 2 week ago; where Årsta came out victors in their first ever win over the Södermalm Blues. This time the blue baggers were fresher and better prepared for the Swans.
Last week’s loss seemed to have shattered the Söder boys as only 9 players turned up for the game against Solna. Stand in coach this week Paul did what he had to and calmly explained how they would have to play to win the game. The guys nodded their heads and went out on the field and did just that.
Was it because it was the first game after the holidays? Or the fact that it was Friday the 13th? Or that we have started training with Årsta again? Who knows, but one thing’s for sure, Södermalm made a bleak appearance in this game.
In the first quarter the Södermalm players didn’t seem to find each other on the field and hesitated in the contests. Årsta on the other hand used their voices and worked hard for the ball. Solid play by Iron Guts in the back line kept the Årsta’s lead to only 3 points after the first quarter.
The second quarter was much like the first and hadn’t it been for poor kicking by Årsta, the lead would have been more than 8 points at half time.
Here are the remaining trainings and games for 2010. See you at training!
