Vikings defeat Elks in the rain to retain Scandinavian Cup

I played in this game, and it was actually dry for around 3 quarters. But it rained heavily just prior to the game and obviously in the 3rd quarter too (with hails to go with that rain, and a small hurricane favouring the swedes for 10-15mins of the 3rd). This meant that the footy was slippery as soap, which gave the swedes a huge advantage, as the game was on the ground most of the day, giving the swedes time to pressure the danes (who almost everytime got to the ball first). Only in the dry 2nd quarter, the difference between the teams showed, and I reckon that Denmark would have been posting a 100point win at least, if it had ben dry.

The swedes had improved, and will be strong contenders for the IC division 2 title.

Niels, you must have been at a different game. The match took place as reported in WFN and the Footy Record and while the wind played its part both teams struggled to get cohesion with the slippery ball. Without doubt DK were the better team on the day but 100 points is a slightly imaginative suggestion. If I didn't know you any better I would say that the mind games for the 2009 Scandinavian Cup in Stockholm have begun. It will be interesting to see how the Vikings fare with having to travel 9 hours before the game. And for the record, the Elks have applied to play in Division 1.

Haha, Phil...had a feeling you might be lurking with a comeback to my comments. Yes, fair enough that Denmark did have the wind in the 2nd quarter and so over performed, compared to no wind, but I still stand my ground that we would have fared more succesful without the rain. The slower and less technical game was to the swedes advantage, as without it, I have a feeling the swedish wouldnt have put so much pressure on, and the danes positional plays would have been far more effective.

Bring on Stockholm next year :-)

And let's not forget that when that happens, the ENTIRE Danish team will have travelled the nine hours ... some maybe more. :-)
