Tindastoll saw off Nyarvik 85-77 in the Premier League on Friday evening. The visitors held firm after a tight first half and pulled away when it mattered. The result keeps Tindastoll in second place while Nyarvik remain eighth.
And here's the thing — we had called an away win before kick-off, with a modest 54 per cent confidence. The visitors showed enough composure to justify that. They didn't need a blowout, just enough to close out a game where Nyarvik kept pushing.
Tindastoll's form has been steady. They beat Bristol Flyers 85-68 last time out and have won four of their last five across all competitions. Nyarvik, by contrast, have lost five straight to Grindavik alone — the pattern suggests they're struggling against the same side repeatedly.
To be fair, the visitors didn't dominate from the start. Nyarvik stayed within striking distance for long stretches, but Tindastoll tightened things up when the game needed closing. They didn't panic, didn't rush, and didn't hand anything back.
By then the table told its own story. Tindastoll sit on 17 wins from 22 games with no draws. Nyarvik have 8 wins, 14 losses, and 0 points — the same as last season, really. The gap between them isn't closing.
The scoreline doesn't lie either. Eighty-five to seventy-seven looks comfortable on paper, but Nyarvik kept finding answers until the final quarter. Tindastoll just had more of them when it counted.
