From Friday to Saturday evening (1 - 2 Nov) we played host to an enthusiastic group of 16 Scottish women who are on tour here in Sweden for about 10 days. They started with a bang here in Uppsala.
Eighteen of our women, from Div 5 to Super League players, came to play a couple of matches. The results: 5 - 1 - 2 (i-e 1 tie) in games to Fyris but the points total was really tight 44 - 38! Have a look at some pictures on the pictures page.
After a guided tour of Uppsala on Saturday morning, they came to the rink and sere served a Swedish smörgåsbord, all home-made, by the club. We were entertained by Jan Löfgren, a spelman, on the fiddle oand the nyckelharap (see a short clip on the video page). Then a round of curling (3 - 1 to Fyris) and, of course, a Swedish fika (home-made of course)! Another round (2 - 1 - 2), a glass of bubbly and then a couple of songs (see the video page!)! A good time was had by all!
