The Rooster will be crowing! You may recall that the Singapore Wombat, Mr Rooster, set off for Vienna last weekend to be with his Finland team for the Central European AFL (CEAFL) Champs.

Rooster wasn’t feeling as confident as he had the previous year with the number of Aussies on the team dropping from 8 to just 3 players. Apparently their team now oozes Finnish talent (and wait until ex Hanoi Swans player, Antti, joins them. For the latest on Antti, check out this blog in the next couple of days).

Finland met the hosts, Vienna, in the opening round – and came off second best. For the subsequent matches, Finland beat all which was enough to put Finland into the Grand Final to play… Vienna again.

Finland had just 3 interchange players to Vienna’s 8. By the time the final siren sounded, the Finns had booted 11 goals to Vienna’s 5. Congratulations to Rooster and the Finns.

The Swans have been arguing for a long time; there’s a lot more to Finland than just Santa and Vodka.
