I played for Stockholm team 2. My team was Sven-Erik Lundberg, John Westerlund Ulf Hedin, Karin Fridlund, Pernilla Brodin and our superb coach Magnus Karlsson.

This year they started out with the singles and I played my darts almost perfect with my measurements. Still waiting for a 9 darter. I made it to the final after beating Daniel Larsson with 4-0 in the second round. In the semi-final I was up against my soon to be team-mate Rainier Maaninka and it was a real good game where he made like three errors in the hole game and I let him pay at once each time. Won the game with 4-3. Marcus Korhonen was the last man standing on the other side so it was me and him on stage. It became 3-3 and in the final leg he had 62 left and I 135, my throw, first red bull, 85 left and to my bad luck it bounces on the wire. I put the last one in and left 40. But I thought Markus was my friend but it turned out he wasn’t. Single 10, single 12 and of course double 20. Game set and match.

Felt like ……….but next time PAY BACK TIME. By the way he’s still my friend.

In the pairs I played with John Westerlund and we made it to the semifinal where Ronny Röhr and of course Rainer Maaninka wanted to beat us, they did. The lost in the final against Markus Korhonen/Kenneth Högwall. Well done Markus two gold in one day.

Team play on Sunday and the whole team played like a team it was real fun but lost against Stockholm team 1 who one the whole thing. Congratulations. We ended up joint third. It was a really fun weekend and thanks to everyone who made this to a great tournament.

Friday night they started out with warm up singles, best of 5 legs. It was about 100 entries. I went all the way to final. I lost 0-3 against Cor Ernst from Holland.

Saturday it was best of 7 legs in the men’s single about 300 entries and I started out pretty good. Didn’t loose any legs until I was up last 32 and my opponent in that game was Johnny nIijs. We both played OK but I was defeated by 2-4. After that we went out for dinner and the food was excellent.

Sunday and time for pairs. Neither Ingela nor I had any booked partners when we left for Hungarian Open but on Saturday I hooked up with Ari Sissi from Finland and Ingela with Zsuzanna from Hungary. Me and Ari won a couple of rounds but lost against the winner in the pairs. Ingela and Zsuzanna lost against the winners in the first round.

Monday we had the day of just for sightseeing. Hopefully we will be back next year

On the evening it was time to play mixed pairs and I was going to play with Ingela. We have started to play really good together, so that’s fun. This evening we rocked. We won all three matches in the pool. We continued to win the first match after the pool pretty comfortable and we were in the quarterfinal. Another win and suddenly we were in semi-final and in mixed normally we win one or two games and that’s it, so to be in the semi final together felt really good. Now we wanted it all and we made it to the final. One more game to be champion, and after a tight game against Grethel and Gunnar Glasö we won the final with 3-2. Felt so good to win with my darling Ingela.

The men’s pairs we lost in the semi-final, not much to say about that.

Thanks to Olle W. who fixed our transport, we left Luleå in style got to ride an Imperial -62 to the airport. Thanks to the driver as well, (sorry forgot the name).

Last happening was the mixed pairs which I played with my lovely Ingela. Unfortunately it didn’t become a third final, we lost in the semi-final so it was pretty close.

The other players are on the men’s side: Daniel Larsson, Kennet Högvall, Magnus Caris, Markus Korhonen, Dennis Nilsson, Tommy Pihlblad and Oskar Lukasiak

The women are Maud Jansson, Grethel Glasö, Paulina Söderström and Pernilla Brodin

Last years Chicken cup I won the men’s single so my plan was to keep the title. It started OK and I got passed my group. The game was getting better and better after each game. The best match was against Oskar Lukasiak last 16th, I won after a hard game with 3-2 threw three 180s. The next two matches I won with 4-1 and I was in the final. The opponent this final was Peter Sajwani and normally when we met we have really close games. It should have been that this time as well but he played good and I missed a couple of doubles to many so he got the title. I’ll will take it back next year.

This year I played with Dennis again and we had decided that this time we were going to win the men’s pairs. We played really good and once again we found ourselves ready to play the final in men’s pairs Finnish Open 2008. We started out by taking a lead with 2-0 and we had three darts for the match for a win with 3-1 but once again we saw us defeated with 3-2 (34,19,19,14,17), against Asko Niskalaa and Veli-Tuomas Hynynen from Finland.
