The Men´s first team, although short of a few regulars, ran up 95 - 7 against Gothenburg, while the Mighty Twos, also known as the Babas had their first win of the season 34 - 14 away to Trojan.

Exiles had a good round off to the first half of the season with a near ton against Gothenburg, who could be heading for the drop. Coach/player Dylan reported as conceding the goal after dropping the ball, otherwise little info. Enköping won with a bit to spare against Pingvin 39-7, while Spartacus once again gave one of the top teams a hard game, losing narrowly 10 - 15 to Hammarby. Hammarby go into the break with full points, Enköping have dropped three and Exiles four and then there is a big gap to Spartacus who seem most likely to get the final playoff spot.
The Babas continued their good form by running in six tries against Trojan in Norrköping. This brings them up to fourth place in Herr Serie 1. Try scorers for Babas: wily old-timer Steve Morris, new Ossie Will Arnott, abrasive hooker Anders Jansson (2!), former Trojan player Mauri Salomäki, and youthfull (U17) Victor Pierce who also put over a couple of conversions. Södertälje beat Uppsala while top match Attila - Vänersborg not yet recorded.
Roll on the second half of the season!
