1. Home or away? Same same in south Stockholm derby

    By Blue Baller

    1-2-3 BAM!

    Last weekend, Södermalm defeated Årsta in the second derby of the season. Viewers agreed Åsta still lack the stability and routin to beat well organized Södermalm, despite strong individual performances and a set of young enthusiastic Swedes in the team. Captain Max and Jordo Jr delivered 7 of Söders 12 goals, but it was the return of Marcus Rappacio, Söder veteran, to the goalsheet that got the crowd going mad!

    The final score was 93 – 55 to Södermalm and good footy was reassuring, but the news shortly after that Jordo Jr – this years favourite for the SAFF best and fairest – was going back to Oz after being misinformed that winter starts in September already sent chockwaves through the organization. Petter promised to update the club webpage with a climate section straight away, just using his iPhone, and from the President’s office inquireies are being made to order beaneis with the club logo, just to be safe.

    Suspense was in the air. It was the first game of the season for Södermalm against reigning champions Solna Axemen. The Blues had lost a few key players from last year and no one knew if the new recruits would be able to fill their shoes. The crowd was anxious and the players nervous. Fortunately one guy was calm as cucumber; coach Paul Stephens. He had a simple enough game plan for the boys to understand. “We’re gonna play 9 vs. 2! If we play as a team there will be 9 good Söder players out there against Solna’s two good players” A stroke of genius from the new coach, 9 players should beat 2 players. But that wasn’t enough; “I want two guys tagging these players and if we take care of one, they can’t pass to each other” The boys were stunned by the simplicity, 9 players will always beat 0 players.

    By Blue Baller

    What is this? Söder didn’t play in the first round, did they?

    Well, you know what they say – Never check a good story!

    Södermalm was running the BBQ and set them mark for the coming season. Thanks to Andree, Ivan, Petter, Murph, Dave, Johan and MAX for goal umpireing and BBQ, and to Jordo for composing  the first ever issue of the “SAFF Footy record”

    On the field, Årsta and Bromma emerged victorious against Falun and Solna.
