PSS Presents: Around the Grounds – Socials Edition #13
Featuring the best online posts from the AFL Europe community, PSS International Removals Presents: Around the Grounds – Socials Edition.
The Berlin Crocs go pink, Finland AFL prepare to host a footy-filled round robin mid-July and more countries make a push to new, localised leagues.
In memory of German Eagles foundation member and extraordinary young footballer, Janine Benecke, AFL Germany had planned this upcoming weekend to hold a Janine Benecke Memorial Round.
Janine’s life was tragically taken from us in January this year, after being hit by a drunk driver.
With the AFL Germany season cancelled, the Berlin Crocodiles would still like to make an effort to remember Janine, and will do so by dressing in pink (Janine’s favourite colour) and heading along to Schillerpark on the 4th July for a short training session followed by a BBQ/picnic.
For more info on the event, or how you can get involved, read below. For info on how you can help and to donate to the Go Pink For Life campaign, click here.
Finland AFL would like to invite you along to their “Hammerglass Game Day”.
On the 18th of July, Finland AFL are hosting a three-hour event where they look to create a two to three team Australian Football round robin.
Experienced in the sport or not, this will be a great opportunity to get some in-game experience and guaranteed playing time.
If you’d like to give Australian Football a go or are simply interested in attending this event, message Finland AFL via their Facebook.
19 days to go…and you can experience moments like this.Come and play Footy with us, the event is free.#FAFL #AustralianRules #Finland #Nokia #Urheilu #Sports

With the recent cancellation of the 2020 AFL Germany season, a new, localised league has been developed in Germany.
The Rheinland Lions through Instagram have announced the launch of the first-ever Cologne League.
Three teams will be put together including players from the the Lionesses and Lions, who will compete in three rounds over the next seven weeks.
The three teams consist of the Sülz Sharks, Deutz Dingos and Ehrenfeld Platypuses, as they look forward to announcing their squads soon.
The newly made South Sweden Australian Football League is officially underway!
Round 1 saw the Celtic Convicts, Red Eyes and GSS Giants all play each other across three games.
The Red Eyes finished the day on top, remaining undefeated with an 8-point win over the Giants, and a 6-point against the Convicts.
Round 2 is set to go ahead on the 10th of July. Read the Round 1 Match Reports here, thanks to the Port Malmo Maulers.
The Delft Blues of AFL Netherlands decided to mix things up at their past training.
The Blues players all met by the ocean for a bit of beach footy and bonding.
An impressive effort by all involved!
Change of scenery. Pretty darn good! #footyineurope #aussierules #delft #denhaag #rotterdam #sports

Players from the West London Wildcats laced up their runners over the weekend to run 13.1 miles in their inaugural half marathon.
Over 15 players attended the event, braving London’s cold and windy conditions on Saturday.
It’s great to see teams in the UK beginning to resume training and exercise where allowed. Remember to stay safe and keep your social distance from each other!
An outstanding effort by the Hamburg Dockers last week!
The Dockers reached a record high attendance of over 50 people at their training, including past premiership heroes and people new to the sport.
Hamburg train on Monday’s and Wednesday’s, so make sure to message them via their Instagram (below) if you’d like to get involved.
