It didn’t take long until the new coaching regime changed the way we think about training completely. We are now doing pre-season training indoors and outdoors! Outdoors on Wednesdays at 18.30 at Årstafältet and indoors on Sundays at Globala Gymnasiet. Be there!
Södermalm is happy to present this season’s new recruits. Ben ‘Big C’ Condon and Jonas ‘JJ’ Jormedal recieved their official Södermalm jersey at registration nightand before an enthusiastic crowd of Söder players. We also expect great performances from Rob ‘Mr T’ Njoku, Luke ‘warm’ Croome and to draw advantage from the experience of Daniel ‘D-day’ Perillo, a seasoned veteran of Dynamite 2006!
The jersey presentation has traditionally been the highlight of registration nigh, and we can promise no one will be disappointed. We got some fresh new recruits and a mystery coach who will introduce himself! Be there and check it out for yourself. Be there, 19.00 @O’Learys Liljeholmen to kick off the season of 2013!
Someone spaced on the date again…
Registration night has been moved from Good Friday to the 5th of April, 19.00 at O’Learys, Liljeholmen.

At 15.00 Södermalm met up at the sponsor pub O’Learys, Liljeholmen for the AGM. One hour later the board had been re-elected and the wheels set in motion for 2013. The long discussions had given everyone a dry throat so after a few cold ones the group headed straight to Gullmarsplan for the Söder Bowling Championship. Everyone except Murf who went home to get his bowling pants.
A new format was introduced this year; speed bowling, so after a quick training round the championship begun. Favourites were falling left, right and centre. Brissles couldn’t get his mojo working and tried slow rolling it in the end but Continue reading
As the only representative from Stockholm Södermalm will participate in the indoor cup this
coming Saturday. We’re sending a team of 6 players: Tarzan, Natis, Martin,
Rappa, Lethal and of course Bluey. We wish them good luck!
On Sunday the national team will hold a training camp which is a great
opportunity for Natis and Martin to show their skills for this year’s European
Championship and next year’s International Cup.
Söder will also be representing SAFF at the AFL Sweden AGM.
The Södermalm AGM takes place on Sunday the 20th of January at 15.00 at our sponsor pub O’Learys (Liljeholmen). All members are welcome so come along and make your impact on the future of the club. Nominations for board positions can be submitted until the 13th of January. The same goes for any motions.
Afterwards we head off to Gullmarsplan for the Södermalm Bowling championship. The tournament starts at 18.00 and the entry fee is a mere 100 kr, the club covers the rest.
AGM Agenda, Södermalm AFC, 2013-01-20
The second leg of the social season, the Södermalm Pool Competition, was completed this Friday. 15 contenders (including Bluey) lined up at Biljardapalatset on Kungsholmen. After a qualifying system, which from here on will be known as ‘Round Brissles’, and quarter finals the group was decimated to 4 players. The first semi final saw Ben Condon beating Coach Stephens. In the other semi final Max fell short after sinking the white ball with only the eight ball to go, sending Jordo into the final and through the roof. The final was a hard fought event where Ben in the end managed to outplay the two time runner up Jordo, and bring home the Ivan Rexed memorial shield.
Tomorrow, Friday will seethe annual Södermalm AFC pool comp at Biljardpalatset on Fridhemsplan, 18.30. “Iron eight balls” Burnell is defending champion. Join us and check out the deepest cellar in Stockholm, where no daylight ever struck the pool tables.
The Pool Hog
The 2012 Södermalm AFC Chess Championship took place last Friday night 23rd November at the now familiar Liljeholms-lokal.
Brissles with long-term coach Gary Kasparov
The night began with a panic as some of the boys forgot to bring a chess board, however a late scramble and door-knock of the area produced a 50 yr old Russian set with delicately hand-crafted pieces that became a talking point of the night.
Here are the dates for next year from AFL Sweden.
Although Jönköping doesn’t have a team, both the indoor cup and Sweden Cup will be held there in order to facilitate travelling for all clubs. Of course Södermalm wants to represent at both events.

Bluey got a free ride home after the presentation night.
The blue-ribbon blue-tie event on the Södermalm AFC calendar – the Söder Awards Night – was held last Friday 2nd November and once again proved a great success as over 25 people decked-out in double-blue colours filled club sponsor O’leary’s in Liljeholmen. One of the highlights of the night was that everyone finally met club mascot Bluey Svensson who had returned from his latest sailing expedition to reveal his true identity and share a few tall-stories from the sea.
