This sub-category is for information pertaining to the men’s team.
That’s right lads, training has finally finished. It’s been a long year; a great year I think most people would agree. A year that Olof, Paolo and I have been happy to have be involved in. A year that the men’s team have grown and its players matured and developed. Read more…

It is with a little trepidation that I take over the match report reins from our usual journalistic maestro. However, I hope to do Jim justice.
First up, I think it is fair to say that with the arrival of new exchange students, there was a sense of anticipation to see how the new recruits would fair, and none of them disappointed. Discipline was the order of the day from our skipper, Paolo. One new player remarked after the game about how he got a little bit ‘scared’ by the speech given by Paolo (about how we should be disciplined as a side and not give away silly penalties or get involved in the darker parts of the breakdowns). With all this said, I think it’s safe to say that we were all a little surprised when Paolo was not only the first warned by the referee, but also given a yellow card 15 minutes into the game for repeated infringes. This all but signalled the end of his day as a suspicious ‘3 stud shaped’ looking cut to the head led to him spending the afternoon in the emergency room. The less said about his departure from the field the better.
Most of what needs to be said about the match against Karlstad has already been said. Poor attendance at training damages our game. Getting up at six in the morning makes us drowsy. Travelling for seven hours saps the strength from our legs. It’s hard to turn that around and with the exception of a few passages of play, we never did.
I’m going to keep it relatively brief in this match report, point out a few of our strengths and weaknesses and highlight what needs to be highlighted.
