Farum are sitting pretty, undefeated, atop the Danish Australian Football League ladder, four rounds in to the fourteen round Danish premier division season.
With tidy wins over Copenhagen, North Copenhagen, a convincing win over Port Malmö and last weekend a solid win over Helsingborg – the lads from the Farum are building nicely.
Leading the way are key goal kickers in 163 game veteran Mikkel Norlander, with fifteen and Troels Ottesen, with fourteen. Ottesen has played over 140 games, having graduated via the Farum junior program and was last season’s leading goal kicker with 35.
The Danes recently were unable to host the Great Britian side in a home test due to the volcanic ash cloud over Europe. However, with the fourth International Cup little over a year away, no doubt further internationals will be arranged.
Unfortunately, the Danes have only provided one member of the World 18 for the upcoming nationals in Australia – with 17 year old Mathias Biron from Farum making the trip. Mathias has played over 50 games now.
His German father Bernfried has assisted with officiating in games.
It should be noted that last year (2009) saw the fourth trip to Australia by a Danish Junior Vikings side, which in the past was effectively a Farum Cats side. But 2009 saw three members of the Slagslunde Tigers junior side making the trip.
Hopefully, moving forward, the full range of opportunities will see both more juniors from outside of Farum in the Danish side, as well as more Danish juniors in the World Team.
For now, though, it’s Farum and the Danish Australian Football League premier division.
