Eslöv's men are Swedish champions in table tennis for the second year in a row. Led by world star Truls Möregårdh, Söderhamn was defeated with 4–3 away, which gave an unassailable 2–0 lead in matches.

The six singles matches were not particularly dramatic, Eslöv won three of them with 3–0 in sets, Söderhamn won just as many with the same set scores.

Double OS silver medalist Truls Möregårdh first defeated Anton Hjort and then Anders Eriksson, thus extending his incredible streak; the 23-year-old has not lost a match in the table tennis league or the SM playoffs for over four years.

It all came down to a doubles match. Söderhamn has one of the league's sharpest doubles pairs in Anders Eriksson and Viktor Brodd. But this time the duo didn't make it. Möregårdh and Martin Friis won with 2–1 in sets and took the SM gold to Eslöv.
