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.
