Australian Rules football is well and truly under way in Norway for 2014, with the second round of the Kenguru Cup being played last weekend. Again the competition was made of the two Oslo based teams – Oslo East and Oslo West - as well as the Ås Battlers.

After just two rounds it is the Oslo East team leading the way and issuing the challenge for the other two teams to “come and get them”.

Earlier in mid-May, Round 1 took place with the Oslo East team taking the honours to kick off the new season.

Read on for Round 1 Results: (match played in Ekeberg, Oslo)

Game One: Oslo East 6 9 45 d Oslo West 2 1 13
Game Two: Oslo West 6 4 40 d Ås Battlers 3 3 21
Game Three: Oslo East 5 6 36 d Ås Battlers 1 6 12

The Round 2 results (matches played in Ås) were:

Game One: Ås Battlers 4 5 29 d Oslo West 3 8 26
Game Two: Oslo East 7 5 47 d Oslo West 5 5 35
Game Three: Ås Battlers 5 5 35 d Oslo East 4 9 33

Whilst the “No-Aussies” game between the Oslo Crows and the Ås Battlers did not go ahead this year, there is still plenty to keep the Norwegian footy fraternity active and excited for the rest of 2014. The next engagement is the annual Sweden Cup in Jønkjøping, Sweden, on June 15th before the remaining rounds of the Kenguru Cup throughout the period June to August.

The Norwegian team will not be coming to the IC14 in Melbourne this year, however their schedule at this stage does include the Euro Cup in London during October as well as a visit to Vilamoura in Portugal for the 2014 Algarve 9’s tournament, also in October.

The third round of the Kenguru Cup will be played in Ekeberg, Oslo, on June 26th.
