Søllerød Gold Diggers - American Football Club in Søllerød, Denmark.
The Søllerød Gold Diggers
January 13th, 2003 marked the day when the American football club Søllerød Gold Diggers was created. The club was originally established by a group of friends wishing to play football for fun, but the 2005 season saw the Gold Diggers enter the Danish American Football Association’s (DAFF) 11-man football tournament as a part of the Danish Second Division.
Though the team would fail to win any games in 2005 (1-1-8, with a desktop victory) and 2006 (0-9), the club itself was developing and expanding. The Gold Diggers established a youth program with both a U16 and a U19 team during this period, and a plan was put in motion to have the senior team placed among the elite clubs in Denmark within a five year period.
