No 10 Anton Johansson sneaking through

Scrum-half Joel Fleck led the side as captain and inspired the team with a spirited pre-game speech. Fleck took the first kick off and the match was on its way. Only five minutes into the game, Luka Ford stole his first of many lineouts which was quickly followed up by a clever chip and chase from Emil Marklund

It was Uppsala however that came out of the blocks the quickest, scoring three tries in the first half. The second half proved to be a different story with Hammarby waking up and piling the pressure on Uppsala with some powerful runs. Uppsala held on though, winning 28-12 on what proved to be arguably our best performance of the season.

Not the result we were after on Saturday, but the performance was exceptional. The boys fronted up and left everything on the pitch with bone-crunching tackles and plenty of bum taps! The final score was 5-34.

Our mens team started their day early on Saturday, with a long trip south to play Lugi Lions in Lund. Uppsala struggled to deal with the blunt force power of Lugi’s main ball carrying forwards and the final result was 56-7.

A thoroughly deserved win to finish the league season and might've been a first home win over an Exiles team for more than 12 years - final score 52 -5 to Uppsala. This fantastic result means that Uppsala finish second in the league table and will now travel down to Lund next weekend to play Lugi in the first playoff match.
