H65 Höör Extend Unbeaten Run with Away Victory
H65 Höör secured a 40:30 victory over Hallby in the Swedish Cup on Saturday, extending their perfect start to the campaign. The visitors who sat atop the standings before kickoff carried that position into first place with a comfortable margin. By then, the result felt inevitable given both sides' trajectories this season.
And here's the thing about this fixture — it wasn't even close to the previous meeting. Just six days earlier on August 30, H65 Höör had won 34:26 at Hallby's home ground. This time they pulled away further, converting their dominance into nine additional goals.
To be fair, the table told the story before anyone stepped onto the court. Hallby arrived with three games played, one win and two draws, sitting third with just two points. H65 Höör had collected six points from three victories and looked unfazed by the Cup occasion.
The visitors' recent form spoke volumes. They'd beaten Hammersby 34:19, drawn with Eskils 34:28, and recorded a 40:29 victory over the same opponents. Consistency like that doesn't happen by accident — it's built through repetition and belief.
What changed in the standings was minimal, but the message was clear. H65 Höör remained at the summit with six points after three games, while Hallby's pursuit of European qualification took another hit. The gap between them widened from two points to twelve.
Not that Hallby should panic. They'd lost just once all season — to Eskils earlier in August — and their two draws against stronger opposition showed resilience. But facing a team that had already beaten them twice in ten days raised questions about ceiling.
H65 Höör's perfect record carried them forward with momentum. They'd beaten Eskils twice, Hammersby once, and now Hallby in two encounters. That's a pattern worth watching as the Cup progresses.
