UggleplanGround: Uggleplan Visits: 1 Date: 3rd April 2024 Match: Perstorp Bälinge - Croatia Helsingborg 4-1 (DM Skåne) Attendance: 40 Coming weekend it is time for the local leagues to finally start. A few weeks ago the group stage of the DM Skåne (County cup) started though and this mid-week it was time for round 1 of the knock-out stage. Perstorp Bälinge normally play at Ybbarps IP but their cup games are at Uggleplan, where the pitch is artificial and floodlights have been installed. Despite waking up to snow and low temperatures I decided to head to Perstorp for this cup game. It takes me around 50 minutes to drive to Perstorp and 15 minutes or so prior to kick-off I parked my car. It was obvious this was going to be a very cold evening but I dressed up properly and prayed for the game to be settled without extra-time and penalties! There was free entrance at Uggleplan and I estimate around 40 spectators were in attendance. Some were actually sitting in the cars but that was not for me. Perstorp Bälinge and Croatia Helsingborg will both play in Division 5 (level 7) and I was expecting an even game. At half-time it was 1-0 but Croatia Helsingborg equalised early on in the 2nd half. Perstorp Bälinge were clearly the better team though and in the last 30 minutes they scored three times to deservedly win 4-1. Perstorp Bälinge will play their first league home game at Uggleplan but will then return to Ybbarps IP and hopefully I will go there later on in 2024. ![]() Information Uggleplan Kick-off South End View of play West side West side North End View of play Penalty, 3-1 East side East side East side East side |
