1. Update EC 2013

    By Blue Baller

    The Elks fell short by just 6 points against the reigning European and International Cup champions Ireland. A few more straight kicks and they would have won according to Kaj. Natis and Kaj got a lot of game time and in the words of the modest Finn they “spelade ganska så bra”. This of course means they both had a cracker of a game.

    Watch the Ireland – Sweden game on youtube, uploaded by AFL Europe (1st half and 2nd half):

    15 minutes into the game Natis kicks a goal soccer style!
    And Kaj kicking the 2nd goal after the siren!

    Next game is against Croatia on Tuesday at 3 pm.

  2. Two blues off to the green

    Natis

    In this years Euro Cup, newcomer Natis Johansson will take a place on the team after only a few games might come as a surprise for those who have missed out on watching SAFF’s most talanted young player since Rookie of the year awards of 2008. Elks captain Lars “leathal” Hagberg on the squad announcement – “Just as in Södermalm, I wouldn’t trust to leave the role as captain to anyone but to Max. And this guy Natis? I haven’t seen him play, but he’s a Söder boy, means he must be good!” The team is coached by always competent Adrian Knee, Solna. GOOD LUCK!

  3. Call for player to Euro Cup

    By Blue Baller

    AFL Sweden is currently looking for players who are interested in representing Sweden in Euro Cup in Belfast on Oct 8.Below is the official invitation.

    On October 8, the annual 9-a-side Euro Cup (formerly EU Cup) will be held in Belfast. The tournament is now an official event of AFL Europe and its annual AGM will be held in conjunction with the cup. The cup will not only offer high level footy, but also high levels of fun and a great night out! Same eligibility rules apply as for the IC or the EC2010, so only locals are allowed to play. We feel that we should definitely send a team in order to support the positive spirit of footy in Europe.

    Interested? Any questions? Just contact the club!
