It's the Final Showdown.

So, after all the trail and tribulations of this most interesting season, on Saturday we reach the final match featuring Sweden's top two teams in the second final. Despite all the verbal and written comments, claims and counter claims from a number of supporters, it all comes down to two squads of players trying their utmost to impose themselves on the game and the opposition.
Whilst the away team Stockholm Exiles hold a nine point lead over their illustrious opponents and hosts, Hammarby, this is not an insurmountable obstacle and if the home side get into their stride and can manage to dominate the visitor's pack they could ultimately end up as the SM champions. Those are two big  if's and to be fair Hammarby have not been able to impose themselves in the set piece against Exiles this season. But stranger things have happened in this game and with their wily coach, they will no doubt conjure up something different.
As for the Stockholm Exiles, they will certainly have to up their game, both individually and as a team to withstand the onslaught that is going to be launched at them. Last Saturday Hammarby made numerous forays into their half and with a bit of fortune, may well have crossed the whitewash. Perhaps over confidence was a factor in what was a fairly moderate performance, something that should have been noted by both the players and coach. If they can get back the form they were showing just a couple of weeks ago, then they should be able to impose themselves on the opposition and eventually run out comfortable winners. Any complacency could well see them trip up and fall flat on their faces.
As this is the last match, the players will no doubt put everything on the line, so an exciting match is in prospect and hopefully it will be one that all the spectators will enjoy. The winners? We won't sit on the fence, we predict that with their 9 point advantage, it will be Exiles, on the other hand ;-)

Good luck to both clubs, enjoy the day and then put your feet up for a well earned rest!
