We train Mondays and Wednesdays from 18:30 at the “University Back Field“. If your intrested in playing with us come down or send us an e-mail. You can find a proper road description under “maps” and if you walk from the subway look for a tall freaky guy with german accent who can’t kick! YES YES YES !! Not long now until season 2010 finally starts! The mighty Axemen are waking up from their “Swedish-Winter-Hibernation” and will soon start training again. The snow is almost gone and in a few weeks it will be full speed ahead under the new head coach Mark “Dad” Cameron. A few of us Axemen are having an early start already this weekend as the National Team gathers for a big Training Camp down in Jönköping.

In Stockholm, the SAFF Grand Final dished up a nailbiting end to the season for the second year in a row.

This year’s tournament was held in the town of Falun in the north of Sweden, and is only the second ever after last year’s inaugural VB Cup in Karlstad. This year’s tournament, which consists of 24 minute, 9-a-side matches between club sides from all over Sweden, was played out by seven teams: Falun, Södermalm, Solna, Bromma, Helsingborg, Port Malmö and Karlstad.
