Herulf Moss HK — Arendal, NM Cup

Arendal dispatched Herulf Moss 49–25 in the Norwegian Cup on Wednesday evening. The away side made light work of the home court, building a commanding lead that never wavered. Herulf had hoped to build on their recent outings, but the evening belonged to their visitors. Arendal arrived with momentum. They had won three of their last four matches, including a 43–31 victory over Kropskulturb on Saturday. Their record since April shows they are finding their rhythm, with wins against Bekkelaget and Sandefjord among the results. Herulf's recent form told a different story. Their last five games date back to 2023, and every result shows a side struggling to find consistency. A 22–37 defeat to Ros and a 19–29 loss to Notterøy sit alongside mixed results against Viking TIF and Melhus. The gap in the scoreline reflected the gap in current form. Arendal's attack clicked into place early, while Herulf's defence offered little resistance throughout. By then, the margin was already beyond doubt. The result leaves Herulf without a competitive result to build on. Arendal move forward with confidence, having extended their winning run to three matches in a row.
