On a beautiful day and near perfect football conditions it was round 3 of SAFF, Södermalm at home against Neighbouring club Årsta swans.
The Årsta swans got the jump on the Södermalm team with only taking minutes to score their first goal! it was a classy bit of play thru the experinced and hard working Damo Gatfield, SAFF Stalwart Boots and Simon faremo of Årsta that set their goal up! Comments from Årsta super coach, Thor Birtley, were heard on the Söder bench, “great work guys! keep this up and we will really rattle the cage!”
With near perfect conditions Swedish national team the Elks defeated Stockholm Dynamites 71 to 55.
The Dynamites started slow and only managed two points in the first quarter, letting the Elks sail off to a two goal lead. The Dynamites returned with new strength in the second quarter to find themselves in an eight point lead by half time. Much thanks to solid defending by full back Brendan, powerful rucking by Årsta’s Dan and solid performance all over the field. Söder player “Lethal” Lars Hagberg made a solid performance in the Elks back line making life tough for the Dynamites forward line.
At third quarter time the Elks were back on top by five point, a lead that the dynamites could not close in the last quarter making the final scores 11.5 71 to 8.7 55.
On saturday the Swedish national team will battle it out against against Stockholm Dynamites. The game is played at Årstafältet and will start at 15.30.
If you’re not playing please come down and help out with anything around the field. And also, bring a friend!
The regular training on thursday will be a Dynamites training. Time and place is the same as always, Årstafältet 18.00.
Good Old Södermalm opened their account in 2010 with a hard fought 15pt win over Bromma at Bromma on Saturday. In windy conditions, Söder outscored Bromma against the wind in the final quarter to win 67 – 52.
Both sides fielded depleted line-ups which resulted in limited subs for both teams, but it was Söder who came out on top of the close but scrappy game. In this first Grand Final replay of 2010, the two sides showed a high level of respect for each other.
On a sunny but windy Anzac day Södermalm kicked off the season by losing a tough game against the Solna Axemen 94 – 84. In the second game Bromma defeated Årsta 70 – 61.
A new, younger Södermalm team graced the fields of Årsta in Round 1 of the SAFF 2010 competition. With no fewer than 7 players making their club debuts, the Blues got off to a great start in the 1st Qtr into the wind to lead by 3 goals at qtr time.

The field was moist like a maiden’s freshly washed hair and the air was crisp like starched linen. High dry Low wet conditions like these promised both fast and skilful play. Although both teams were already through to the finals no one was expecting an easy game. Årsta was out for their first win against Söder who in turn wanted to show that the 2 mishaps against Bromma and Solna earlier were just that. Södermalm got off to a bad start with returning big man Chris Koelmeyer injuring himself in the very first ruck contest. A busted ankle meant that he was out for the rest of the game. We keep our fingers crossed that he will be back for the grand final.
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
The Mighty Södermalm continued their 200e centre of the ground which played a big role in keeping the opposition goal-less as The Moose repelled any attacks that Bromma could muster. His contribution of 3 goals also ensured that he received the honour of “Players’ Player” – as voted by all the Söder players.
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.
New recruits Henrik Engervall and Michael Bourke battled admirably against SAFF veteran “Boots”” in ruck
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
Before the game coach Cameron lit the fuse that would ignite the bomb called Sweden Elks; AFL had decided to put the Swedish national team in the 2nd group in the International Cup. All the players were determined to show the AFL that they did not agree with this decision, and they did show them! Continue reading
