‘TOP SPOT ALMOST SECURED!’ by Tanka
It was a rematch of the 2010 and 2011 preliminary finals, the 2009 grand final, it was 2 old foes locking horns yet again, yep it was Söder versus Bromma. In the absence of Captain Max Larsson, Petter Eek took on the role as captain in his 50th game.
The game commenced as expected, it was hard, tough, and of course sloppy in the drenched fields of Årstafältet. A low scoring first quarter saw Bromma go in with a 2 point lead, both sides only managing 2 goals each. Continue reading
Söder don’t slip on the path to minor premiership
Still undefeated with only two more games before the Grand Final, Söder faced Bromma for the first time this year. Heavy raining before the game transformed Årstafältet into something in between a footy field and a swimming pool. Söder remembered the golden rule of wet footy, man up behind your opponent, and pick up the ball! The final score was 96-47. A special thanks to Kungen on the BBQ!
‘Mick’s Big Day’ by Coach Stephens
In the shadows of Bromma Airport, nine hardy souls threw off the distractions of sailing and the sommarstuga to take on rivals Solna in the first match after summer break. With twelve on their side, Solna had the numerical advantage and were keen to bounce back from a defeat earlier to Söder earlier in the season. Continue reading
Söder looks red hot in the heat

Final score 156-75
Match report to follow.
In the first game of the double header Bromma beat Norrtälje by 139-46
Södermalm scores in Finland
Södermalm set out from Stockholm on Friday night to go to Salo to play a combined Finnish side. The seas were ruff that night and upon arrival in Turku the team was down to 12 players, not a good sign for a 14 a-side game. However, when the team finally got to Salo it was up to full strength again. The Finns showed straight away what type of game this was going to be; hard running and hard tackling.

Söder on top before the summer break
The last SAFF round before summer break was a double header in Norrtälje. Both games were played in what must now be known as typical Norrtälje weather; rain. Solna took on Norrtälje in the first game and the Axemen who came up with a strong squad managed to beat the Dockers comfortably. Söder went up against a diminished but not demoralized Årsta.

Söder beat Solna and Johan turned 50
In perfect football conditions Södermalm took on the reigning champions Solna. Some say this game was the true Grand Final of Sweden Cup. After an even 1st quarter, Söder did everything possible to keep Dave, who was manning the score board, very busy. The was an historic day as it was Berger’s 1st game for Södermalm, and The Johan’s 50th! Both players celebrated by kicking goals. Final score: Söder 20.16.136 vs. Solna 7.9.51.
Next item on the agenda is the double header up in Norrtälje this Saturday. At 12.00 it’s Norrtälje vs. Solna and at 14.00 Söder against Årsta.
Söder book trip to… Finland
Södermalm is happy to present the itinerary for the mid season footy tour! The goal is Salo in Finland, the home ground of Söder gun recruit Kaj “the Cannon” Karlsson. Bring on that famous Sisu! We will be leaving late the 30th of June and return with an over night cruise the following day. Already there are 17 confirmed travelers, a massive turnout. The club will book 20 beds and the prize is 600kr inkluding the best all you can eat and drink buffet on the baltic sea, special prize for Söder players and social members. A great trip and frequent interchanges during the game is promised. Make sure to contact the club if interested in any of the last few seats.
Also, don’t miss out the rematch of last year’s final. Södermalm Blues vs Solna Axemen this Friday at Årsta, and the traditional BBQ.
Söder bring back the Cup
This weekend saw a revived Sweden Cup take place at the excellent grounds at Norrtälje Sportcenter. The Dockers sure set the bar high for next year’s organizer, and short of the wheather, nothing was left to chance. Unfortunately, this was the factor which would come to put it’s mark on the tournament.
Södermalm had convincingly defeated the Bromma Vikings, the far-traveling Crows from Oslo, and Kårsta Sweagles (the joint Årsta-Karlstad team). While having the home ground advantage, the Dockers struggled to keep up, and the only clear competitor was Solna Axemen. Every result was pointing towards a de facto final between The Blues and The Axemen, when the the wind, rain, and temperature got to be too much, competition was aborted half way through, due to risk of injury and hypothermia, leaving Södermalm on top of the ladder with the highest percentage. The post game sauna was much apreciated.
In combination with the prize ceremony and social the Elks squad for Euro Cup 2012 in Edinburgh this September was presented, and Södermalm can happily inform that club young gun Natis Johansson was once again selected for the national team.
‘What actually happened’ by J. Murphy
Saturday the 12th of may,
The Blues travelled to Norrtälje for the new franchise club’s debut in the SAFF.
After a strong win in the opening game against Årsta the confidence in the squad
was high, although, there was an air of trepidation on the one hour bus trip north
as the blues were still missing some big name players and they were up against
the unknown quantity of Norrtälje.
Welcome Dockers
Söder start the season with a win
The ANZAC day double header was nothing short of a success, great football, fantastic weather, and a short ANZAC Day remebrance ceremony by Rion Farmer and Ben Kirk.
Now to football – Årsta, short of players already at the start of the game had an uphill race all day long. Södermalm had a full bench and was all fueled up. Despite a great effort by Årsta veterans Thor, Rob, Mats, and an inspireing performance by rookie Årsta-Max, the tide never turned. The Larsson brothers was non-negotiable in their attacks, Brissles and Brad were bombing the Årsta goal, Iron Guts was the anvil that shattered the Hammer, Tanka was running circles around his defenders, Kaj showed what Finnish sisu looks like and Jamie and Oscar dominated the… well, you get it. To round it up, the final standing was Södermalm 22.18 Årsta 7.6 (150-48)
In the second game, Bromma 10.18 proved that every behind counts when they defeated Solna 10.11 (78-71). Great effort by umpire Ryan Kingsley and thanks to all who showed up to support your team. Also thanks to Jordo for the pics.

Söder shows good form in pre-season hit out.
In windy conditions at the Årsta back field Söder took on first the Karlstad Eagles and then the Norrtälje Dockers in the first footy show down of the year in Stockholm.
Coach Paul took the pre-season games as an opportunity to assess the new line up and improve on the game that has been so effective for Södermalm; keep possession of the ball by running and handballing. Continue reading
