Registration night is being held at our club sponsor O’Learys Liljeholmen on the 21st of March. The booking is from 6 pm and dinner will start at 7 pm. Bluey Svensson has confirmed his attendance and will be giving out wise words and Celtic handshakes. Rumor has it that coach Bull and captain Dildo are going to say a few motivating words. And you might hear the club president say a few words as well. You don’t want to miss any of it!

Dress code: Club tie!

Make sure you let the club know if you’re coming. RSVP to the club e-mail.

Natis selected to represent Sweden in the International Cup

Söders own Natis was selected for the squad going to Melbourne for the International Cup 2014.  In total 8 SAFF players were picked to play for Elks and on top of that we have the newly appointed team managers from Norrtälje and Pär Gustafsson going as kit manager. That’s the strongest representation from Stockholm so far. Go the Elks!

A brand new board, and bowling champ!

2014 – the year of the Blues started last Sunday with the Söder AGM. Twelve interested souls turned up at O’Learys to elect a board and discuss the season. Since all board positions were up for grabs we’re happy to announce a completely new board: President – The Kaj, VP – Theo, secretary – Jonas and treasurer – Iron Guts.

The meeting was followed by the annual bowling competition and for the first time in Söder history we had a junior competition as well as a senior.  After the usual practice round it was time for the championship round. Dylan got off to an early lead with 142 and looked like a strong contender as previous winners couldn’t deliver. Larry peaked too early, Bull overthrew his shots and Brissles possibly suffered from too much practice. However, the late finisher James smashed all competition with a whopping 196, the second highest winning score in the history of the bowling competition.  Congratulations to James! We’re just awaiting clearance from the Söder bowling committee regarding the use of one’s own personal bowling ball.

Bowling champ!

Chess, mates!

BY TANKA -Brissles makes it 5 in a row!!! It was a cold Winters night in Stockholm, typical for this time of the year, the snow was falling and there was definitely a buzz in the air. Anticipation was high as 10 of Söders finest jumped off the tunnelbana and headed towards Brissles lokal in the heart of Liljeholmen. The only thing missing was Murph’s championship chess board. Rumour has it that it is currently somewhere in NSW’s Blue Mountains.

Brissles was the short priced favourite to take out his 5th chess tournament and do a hat trick on the Söder social calendar. He already had the footy tipping and pool comp under his belt and was licking his lips at the scene.

Jordo and Ben on the SAFF board

Due to the fact that a few SAFF board members are stepping down prematurely a SAFF special general meeting was held. Two Söder members were voted in: Jordo as Manager of Footy Operations (re-elected) and Ben Condon as Vice President. Ryan Kingsley (Norrtälje) was elected as President.  In addition it was decided that SAFF will take over the social events, formerly organized by the clubs, and that they will appoint a social events manager to do this with the help of the clubs.

SAFF Awards night

Over the years we’ve gotten accustomed to Söder players receiving medals at the SAFF Awards and we didn’t get disappointed this year either. Oscar ‘the O-train’ Löfgren got the medal for best non-Aussie! He was second on the overall ladder only 1 point after the best Aussie Adrian Knee.

All in all an enjoyable night with speeches, good food and jovial company. The SAFF president Ben Kirk was awarded a Södermalm tie in appreciation of his efforts over the years.

Oscar – best non-aussie 2013!

New names on the Honour roll

The footy season is over and so is the fishing competition. That means two new names on the honour roll.

It was very close between Brissles and Dylan at the top of the Södermalm tipping competition. In the last regular round the calculating commentator got in front by a point and since he had a better total margin Dylan was forced to play the wild cards in the finals. Congratulations to Brissles on winning the Södermalm Tipping Competition 2013, and to a free membership in 2014.

Brissles - Tipping Champ

It has been a controversial year in the Södermalm fishing competition with the introduction of the Södermalm Reference Fish Size Chart (RFSC). According to the new rules it is the relative species size rather than the absolute size that counts. Already with the second cast of the season Larry landed a 48cm/80% Harr, a fish so big that it broke his fishing rod. Although Kungen came back with a massive 70cm Gös later in the summer that catch only rates as 70%. This is the second title for the fun-loving fisherman.

Söder bites the dust, again

Despite the fact that it was Tanka’s 50th game Söder fell short in the Grand Final for the third year in a row. Again we ended up minor premiers but couldn’t go all the way and win the Grand Final. It was a tight and physical game against Solna and although Söder were winning on the field it didn’t show on the score board. With 28 to 20 scoring shots in Söder’s favour, it was Solna’s accurate kicking that earned them the title. Despite a great performance by the team this season we have to wait until next year for another premiership. Bring on 2014!
Let’s kick off the social season!

Final score:
Södermalm 7.21  63
Solna        15.5  95
