Exiles beat Södertälje in Cup
|
1 Jun 2010
|
Exiles completed the qualifying round of the cup by beating Södertälje 54 – 0 at Årsta on Tuesday night. Exiles had around 10 of their first team on display at the start and they proved to be far too strong för Södertälje, leading 26 – 0 after 16” and 40 – 0 at half-time. A number of younger players came on and the match leveled out. Södertälje came more into the game but Exiles were able to add a couple more converted tries in the second half.

Report from Stockholm International Rugby Cup 2010
|
28 May 2010
|
In a period of three years, Stockholm International Rugby Cup organized by Exiles’ youth section has become one of the largest youth rugby events in Sweden. During the weekend 22-23 of May, teams in ages ranging from U7s to Girls U18s played approximately 77 games at Årsta. Despite the very large number of games played, the match schedule was kept thanks to a well-working organization and some clever scheduling by U13 coach Nigel Sharp.

Another brilliant display by Exiles U17 as they outclass the opposition in the Stockholm International Rugby Cup. Most of the boys have been playing together since they were 11 or 12, and if they carry on this way, half of them will be in the Exiles first team in two or three years.

Exiles III ("the Threes" or in the past "the Cavaliers")went 3 for 3 by beating Attila B 77 - 7 at Årsta today. Game played in excellent spirits but in atrocious conditions on a combination of pitch C and pitch B. The match was sealed in the first half, whereas the second half was quite evenly matched as Attila refused to give up and scored a great solo effort try to avoid a whitewash.

Honours even against Enköping
|
22 May 2010
|
Exiles Ladies won comfortably against Enköping in the first match of the day and the Men looked to be heading for a double with a 16 - 8 lead with nine minutes to go. But two break-away tries within a minute gave Enköping a win very much against the run of play. Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, Exiles Barbarians went down to Södertälje, who have a useful team this year, while six other Exiles youth teams have made a start to the Stockholm International Youth Tournament i Stockholm. Ladies report i Swedish, the rest in English.

A youthful SRK win a shootout against the Twos
|
22 May 2010
|
The Twos lost to youthful, mobile and aggressive Södertälje team 45 - 27. After Södertälje pulled away in the first half the introduction of fresh legs turned the tide and the twos came back to 31 - 22 with time to spare. A couple of errors led to clinching scores for the home team.
