On near perfect conditions for footy, the södermalm football team was playing Solna FC and was determined not to make it 3 losses on the trot for season 2009. The game was very close up to 3 quarter time, where the scores were level 35 all. Söder were playing terrible footy and keeping solna’s final chances alive.

This was all to change as coach jordo gave the söder player his famous 3 quarter reeming telling them to pull there heads in and to get out there play play real footy!!! True to his words, the söder boys came out in the last quarter and blew Solna off the paddock along with their 2009 finals aspirations!

Kicking 3 goals into a strong breeze and keeping Solna goal less in the last quarter the blue baggers sealed the victory, and also cemented there place in the 2009 SAFF grand final and once again are minor premiers of SAFF.

The final score was: Södermalm 8.14.52 def Solna 5.6.36

Blues storm to victory

The Blues were at it again last Friday in some of the wettest conditions that Aussie Rules has seen in Sweden – this time knocking off new-boys Årsta by a comfortable 45 points.

On a pitch that would be better described as Swan Lake rather than Årsta Fältet, the Blues mastered the conditions and took a 2-0 overall lead in the Southern Stockholm Derbies against the Årsta Swans. The win also pushes Söder clear at the top of the SAFF league ladder with a 4-0 game count in 2009.

The conditions may have been to blame for a slow starting game with only 3 goals being scored between both teams in the 1st quarter. Similar wet-weather play in the 2nd quarter saw Söder slip ‘n slide to a 16 point lead at the long break.

Players’ Player – Johan “The Flash”” Dahlberg – turned his already good game into a great game in the 2nd half as he flashed in and out of the center and around the ground picking the wet heavy ball up as though the conditions were perfect. ‘The Flash’ left the Årsta

Söder sink Swans in 1st derby

Södermalm and Årsta kicked off their rivalry last Friday 15th May with the first derby between the two southern Stockholm teams.

Coach Jordo had his Söder men primed for the Friday night blockbuster and with the wind behind them in the first term, a good start was imperitive for the Blues. A centre clearance followed by a mark and goal in the first minute saw the Blues off to a flyer. With this momentum, the Blues sliced the match open with 4 more goals in the 1st quarter to lead 5.4 vs 0.2 at quarter time.

The 2009 SAFF season kicked-off with the Anzac day double-header at Årstafältet. It was clear from the outset that Södermalm was determined to win this game. Already at 11.00 the whole team was gathered in the change room and 10 minutes later they were outside warming up. Meanwhile, 3 lost Solna players were anxiously looking for their team mates. It was obvious that Söder was not interested in a replay of previous years’ opening games where they had lost to Solna. It was clear that they wanted revenge from last year’s GF loss. And this was the day to do it, beautiful weather, a big Anzac day crowd and the return of Södermalm star Daniel Jordan. Continue reading →

The Blues sweep to victory!

The inaugural Södermalm Curling Championship was held last Thursday at Sundbyberg Curlinghall. The teams that made the final were Yellow (Michael Bourke, Mark McManus, Brissles, Joel Burnell) and Blue (Jordo, Ivan, Lars).

The Yellows had the hight advantage with ruck man Bourkie, a definite superiority in birds eye perspective on the nest. On the other hand Ivan caused early confusion for the Yellow team by playing from the right hack.

The Blues got off to a perfect start by taking 3 and 2 points in the first two rounds with some text book tactics. The Yellows decided that enough was enough and struck back by winning the 3rd round. In the 4th round Jordo was skipper for the Blues and set up the team for a comfortable 3 point win. However, Bourkie was of a different opinion. He lubed up his last stone so it could squeeze passed the Blue guards and after an enormous sweeping effort by the Yellow team they managed to steal the 3 pointer for a 1 point win.

The silly season has just started and the Bromma Vikings have made their first recruit – a mascot!

An anonymous source who wants to be referred to as “Bones” says: “We are doing everything to become a serious club and a mascot seemed like the obvious start.” We can only congratulate them, all they need to do now is to set up a proper board, get their finances in order, organise a trainer and win a few games. Our source continues: “We’re a club with many young players so we wanted something that speaks ‘Youth’ and also looks powerful.” The mascot’s name? Captain Kirk!
