Semis now decided
1 sep 2018 0 kommentarer
Södertälje beat Hammarby 20 - 17 in a very tight game to ensure that they won Div. 1 and will now attempt to qualify for Allsvenskan next year. Down 7 - 3 at half-time, Södertälje came back strongly to build up a lead of 20 - 10. Hammarby then hammered at the Södertälje line for extended periods but could only finally get over with a couple of minutes to go.Södertälje were in command for what seemed a very long referee´s time thereafter. Two try Fredrik Enstad returned from injury and was back in top form.
The other decisive match was in Norrköping where Troján met Göteborg and a number of permutations were possible. Troján led 12 - 5 at half-time but Göteborg also turned the tables and ran out perhaps unexpected winners by 25 - 17. This propelled them up to third place in Allsvenskan with Troján now having to face Södertälje for a place in Allsvenskan next year.
The semis now mean Exiles will play Enköping, starting in Enköping next week, while Göteborg will receive Pingvin for their first semi.
Exiles had no objection to playing any of the bottom three in Allsvenskan, but will be happy with the outcome for financial reasons.
