Message me, thanks!

Hi everybody, Julian Clark is starting the Finnish Lions Aussie Rules Club - they're hoping to make it to Prague for a tournament in November, so even if you've never played before, email Julian at julian.clark@nokia.com and you might get a ride do to the Czech Republic.

Yep, in Helsinki - though there might be Aussies elsewhere who want to get involved too.

Hi everybody - Aussie Rules (aka AFL aka Ping Pong if you're from Sydney) is underway in Finland.

The Finland Lions national team made its first appearance late 2005 against at the Prague Cup - read about it here.

In addition to the Finnish Lions - there will be a domestic series this year between the Espoo Eagles and Helsinki Hawks.

Anyone up for a kick - get in contact via the weblinks. At the moment it's mostly Aussies, but they're keen to get as many Finns and other expats involved as possible. If you've played soccer, rugby or gaelic footy before and want to try something a little different, this is your chance!
