Södermalm AFC AGM and Bowling Night

Saturday 4th March 2023 Södermalm AFC held it’s annual general meeting yesterday at the Old Brewer in Stockholm. A big thank you to all the members from last year and if you missed the Presidents Report we all should be congratulated on a very successful year. During the meeting, the club welcomed a new board member and had some exciting news about the new Södermalm Sports Club to play this year in the Swedish Cricket competition. All members can catch up on the minutes or check up all the news via the Official WhatsApp Group.

The 15th Södermalm Ten Pin Bowling Trophy followed the AGM and there were a few big names out. While the reigning champion was bronzing himself naked on the beaches of WA and Mr Professional had packed up his shoes and ball  and gone home, there was no clear favourites. That all changed when The president himself bowled 212 in the warm up game before the final. The tickets fell off him pretty quickly though and while Don Key and Larry had a crack but it was Sean ‘Kungen’ Hargreaves who took control of the final to win the trophy with a score of 165. Congratulations Kungen!! and to top of his day his son Jack took home the club fishing trophy fishing trophy earlier in the day.

Thanks for a great afternoon and for all the members who came along. It is going to be an exciting year.
