Drammen secured their first REMA 1000-liga win on Saturday, edging past Fjellhammar 26:29 in Kristiansand. The result gives the visitors their first three points of the campaign after a difficult start to the season. Fjellhammar, meanwhile, dropped their opening winning streak after a solid showing at home.
By then the visitors had found their rhythm, coming back from behind to claim the three points. The away side extended their unbeaten run to one game, ending a recent pattern of defeats that had left them searching for momentum. To be fair, this was not a dominant performance, but it was enough.
Fjellhammar had started brightly with five consecutive victories before this setback. Their opponents, Drammen, had won just once in their last five outings before turning things around here. And here's the thing — this match mattered more than the scoreline suggested.
The result shifts the standings slightly, with Drammen moving off the bottom of the table for the first time this season. Fjellhammar remain sixth after their opening win, while the visitors climb to seventh with their first points. The gap between them is now just one point.
This was a match decided in the final minutes, with both sides trading blows until the last whistle. Drammen's defence held firm when it mattered most, while their attack found the net at crucial moments. The visitors will take confidence from this performance despite the narrow margin.
