SjöboGround: Sjöbo Idrottsplats Visits: 1 Date: 19th May 2024 Match: Sjöbo - Öja 8-1 (Division 4 Skåne Östra) Attendance: 165 After my visit to Teckomatorp on Friday evening I was only missing one ground in the three Division 4-leagues (3x12 teams) in Skåne. Sjöbo IF were promoted from division 5 in time for this season and with the weather forecast saying 22-23 ℃ and a clear sky I was really looking forward to visiting Sjöbo IP. Kick-off on Sunday afternoon was at 15.00 and 30 minutes or so prior to kick-off I parked my car outside the ground. Sjöbo IP has gravel running tracks and the only stand is on the north side of the ground. There was no roof to protect me from the sun but I found a spot in the far right of the stand where a few trees provided some cover. The game this afternoon, Sjöbo v Öja, was in round 8 of Division 4 Skåne Östra. So far Öja has failed to score a single goal and with Sjöbo attacking the goal to the right I knew I was in the right spot, at least in the 1st half! It was 3-0 at half-time and after enjoying ice-cream and coffee I switched to the other side. With Sjöbo being by far the better team it was obvious where the action in the 2nd half would take place. The biggest surprise in the last 45 minutes was not Sjöbo scoring five goals but witnessing Öja´s first goal of the season! 8-1 at Sjöbo IP and 165 in attendance as I completed yet another league. ![]() Entrance Badge North Stand West End South side East End Kick-off View of play 2-0 Young fans View of play North Stand North Stand North Stand View of play |
