Match: Karlshamn United - IFK Borgholm 5-1 (Play-off to Division 3)

Attendance: 40

The last weekend of October was the 3rd and final matchday in the play-offs to Division 3. Karlshamn United finished 2nd in Division 4 Blekinge and their first two play-off games, against Alvesta and Älmeboda/Linneyd, ended in two draws. To get the only promotion spot from this group Karlshamn United had to win by four goals and hope for a draw between Älmeboda/Linneryd and Alvesta. Karlshamn United normally play at the lovely Marieborg in Svängsta but this home qualifier was played at the artificial pitch at Asarums IP. For me it was less than 50 minutes of driving but looking at my options I had to go quite far to find an interesting game at a new ground. Having been to Asarums IP before I had no problems finding the way and 30 minutes prior to kick-off I parked my car. With a small stand and a grass bank behind the goal and along the opposite side, Asarums IP Konstgräs was a much better ground than I anticipated.

It started well for Karlshamn United and at half-time it was 4-1. The other match was by now almost more interesting than the one in Asarum, 2-1 to Alvesta at half-time in that one. When Karlshamn United made it 5-1 those of us present turned our interest to the Min Fotboll app. In the 86th minute Älmeboda/Linneryd equalised and after a nervous wait that was confirmed as the full time result. Joy and smiling faces at Asarums IP where fans and players of Karlshamn United celebrated an unlikely promotion to Division 3.

My domestic season is coming to an end but I will hopefully reach my target of 50 new grounds (today was number 49) in 2025 next weekend in Denmark.
