Halden secured a 36:27 victory over Tiller in the 1. Division on Saturday, 6 September. The away side took all three points in their opening fixture of the campaign. Tiller, meanwhile, dropped a point in their first match of the season.
Halden's result moves them to the summit of the table with two points from one game. Tiller sit in 13th place with a single point from their opener, having drawn their previous match against Notterøy 24:36 in August.
The visitors have shown mixed form across their recent outings. They lost to Drammen 27:24 and were beaten by Nordstrand 34:30, but they did secure a 36:30 win over Vardhaug in their last outing before this fixture.
Tiller's recent record includes a draw with Bergsøy 28:28 and a loss to Bodo 31:26. They also lost to Melhus 21:26 and drew with Greenland 24:25 earlier in the season. The pattern suggests a side still finding consistency.
The result leaves Halden sitting clear at the top, while Tiller remain outside the play-off places. Both teams have played just one game, so the standings have not shifted dramatically. What matters now is whether Halden can maintain momentum or if Tiller can build on their opening draw.
