Week #2 of the SAFF Division I Södra season saw the 0-1 Hurricanes traveling to Lund to play the 0-1 Lugi Vikings. This was going to be a tough game as the Vikings beat the Hurricanes twice in 2009 on their way to a Södra Division II title.
The Lugi game field is known as "The Crib" because the grass hillsides give the field a feel of a baby's crib. When we arrived, a Junior game was in progress between Limhamm and Lugi.

The Hurricanes run a few plays as the clock runs out to end the game, a 24-7 Lugi victory.
The Hurricanes are now 0-2 on the season while Lugi improves to 1-1.
The bottom line today was that Lugi was simply the better team. They controlled the line of scrimmage offensively and defensively throughout the contest which usually means victory.
I was proud of our defense that came up with some big turnovers while having to play a lot of football as our offense struggled. Defensive Tackle Daniel Engström had a great game for us.
Next Saturday we host the 2-0 Ekeby Greys in what will be our third very tough opponent to open the campaign.

If last week was a contest that was decided on a bogus call by the ref there was no question this week. Unfortunatly I must add. O never got going like they did in the second half against Limhamn. And having D on the field during so much of the game just doesn´t work in the long run. Just keep working.
But I´ll still remember this game for a long time since it was the first game for soon to by 19 months old Henning. Go Canes!
Johan,
Thanks for your suport of Team Hässleholm.
Heads Up George!
Better times are coming!
