April & May 2018
We start the new season with a home game to Friska Viljor. Can we put the heartbreak of the 2017 season behind us and start the new season in style?
We sure can! A 5-1 thumping gives us a dream start to the season, with last years young player of the year...

2018 Season Preview
I'm back at Ange IF for a 4th season with 1 simple objective: win the league and get us promoted to the first division north. Last season was gut wrenching to miss out on promotion on the final day of the season but there is absolutely no reason why we can't...

2017 Season Review
2017 was by far my most successful season at Ange IF, but it was met with disappointed at the end of the campaign as we lost our grip on the league title and promotion on the final day.

2017 Season Finale
After a poor run of results in August we where left with 3 games to try and claim promotion to the Swedish First Division North. It's been a tough season, tougher than it should have been but the positive in all of this going into the final 3 matches is that...

August & September 2017
August was a tense month for us, and it was only going to get more nerve wracking the closer we got to the finish line. We had 8 games left in total so we really needed to keep the momentum we've had for much of the season.
What a cracker! We just...

2017 Pre Season Friendlies
We had 4 friendless ahead of the new season. One of which was our annual match against parent club BK Hacken, who strolled to a comfortable 3-0 win. I can't be too annoyed really, they're a premier league club and we are miles off that standard.

2017 Pre Season Plans
Going into the new season there is definitely a feeling of optimism around the place. I certainly didn't expect there to be too many changes ahead of the new campaign, certainly not to the extent of the previous year.

June & July 2016 Results
Going into June we have managed to establish ourselves as a pretty decent side, sitting in mid table but certainly carrying a goal threat. Just 3 defeats so far and it really should only have been 1 as those first 2 games of the season I'm putting down...
