1. Club legend breaks 100 games limit in season premiere

    By Blue Baller

    The club hereby recognize the acheivements by Lars ‘Lethal’ Hagberg, who was honored with a medal by the SAFF board after celebrating his 100 game for the blues. The seasoned veteran defender did so by kicking a rarely seen goal in the convincing victory against the Bromma Vikings.

    Presented with the 100 games medal, Lethal was met with silent awe from players in rookie-dense Norrtälje and Årsta, almost refusing to believe what they just heared, while the players of Bromma and Solna, being considerably more experienced, still spoke of his consistency over the years with the outmost respect.

    For players of Södermalm, and for the club as a whole, Lars is indeed appreciated as a person, a reliable team mate, a source of inspiration, and most valued for his contribution to the club on and off the field. Here’s to another 100 games Larry!

  2. A pale shade of blue

    By Blue Baller

    It was coach Jordo who put a riddle to the team after the game against Solna on the JCG – What do you get if you take the team captain, last season’s BnF, winner of the SAFF goal kicking comp, a board member, a stay at home dad, someone at choir practice,  a pair of exchange students and one or two national team players? I’ll tell you, you get a full team not on the field today! Not even Bluey’s here! It’s not good enough!

    Söder came to play with 9 players, but it was all uphill from there. Tarzan ripped his hamstring after 3 minutes of play, leaving Söder effectivly one man short for the game. Iron Guts, still in rehab from a knee injury after pre season curling,  pulled on the jersey and settled in the goal square after first quarter. Södermalm largely balanced the game until half time, although failing to convert good play into goals, much thanks to a massive effort by Bull, Oscar and Rob ‘Mr T’ in the ruck.
