Historic Swedish Bronze in the European Championships in Australian Football
The mighty Swedish Elks have upset the highly-fancied Great British Bulldogs in an epic battle for 3rd place in the European Championships in Australian Football.
Featuring a very healthy dose of Maulers players, the Swedes put on a gritty performance in front of a sold out Limhamn Stadium home crowd to take out a much deserved bronze medal.
In a good sign for Aussie Rules in Europe, Sweden’s main TV channel, SVT, was there cover the event. Check out the boys action:
In front of a capacity crowd at Limhamn Stadium (there were even spectators sitting on the other boundary!) the Swedish Elks battled bravely against the lads from Ireland (plus a certain someone from Malmö…).
With the game blowing out in the final quarter and the crowd becoming unsettled, Mr. Croatia took it upon himself to stir things up with a glorious streaking run (pics included below, NSWF).
