VankivaGround: Ivar Persson Arena (Vankiva IP) Visits: 1 Date: 6th October 2024 Match: Vankiva IF - Sösdala IF 1-4 (Division 6 Skåne Norra) Attendance: 110 Having been away for most of the day on Saturday I was not planning to go to a game of football on Sunday as well. It is apple season in my part of Sweden and at noon we went to Kivik where all kinds of apple products were purchased. We were back home by 14.30 and with the weather being really nice I decided to head for Ivar Persson Arena in Vankiva where Vankiva hosted Sösdala in the last round of Division 6 Skåne Norra. There are 11 Division 6-leagues in Skåne and the winners as well as the best runner-up are promoted to division 5. That meant all leagues had to start at the same time but 16.00 is an unusual kick-off time for teams at this level. Sösdala were 2nd in the table but being best runner-up they “only” needed to beat third placed Vankiva to be promoted. Top of the table Farstorp were only a point ahead of Sösdala but playing Tyringe Farstorp would most likely win and secure top spot. Plenty of Sösdala fans had made it to Ivar Person Arena in Vankiva and my headcount gave an unofficial attendance of 110, quite good for this level. Sösdala were clearly the better team and quickly went 2-0 up. Vankiva pulled a goal back but when Sösdala made it 1-3 in the 49th minute it was more or less game over for Vankiva. In the end it was 4-1 to Södala and as best runner up they were promoted to division 5. With Röke/Hörja drawing their game Vankiva dropped to 4th spot and thereby missing out on the play-offs. The regular league season is now over and coming weekends there will be some exciting play-off rounds in the lower leagues. ![]() Welcome to Ivar Persson Arena Players entering Kick-off South End View of play East side East side East side View of play North End North End View of Ivar Persson Arena West side West side West side |
