Storhamar secured their second consecutive win in the REMA 1000-league this season with a 26-20 victory over Utleira on Wednesday afternoon. The away side ran out comfortable winners at the home venue in front of a modest crowd.
Storhamar arrived in first place having played two matches and taken four points from their opening fixtures. Utleira sat in 12th position after their solitary game ended in a stalemate the previous weekend.
The visitors carried their momentum from a seven-match winning run into this contest. Their most recent outing saw them dispatch Follo 28-21, while Utleira had suffered a 27-17 defeat against Bøssen on the same date.
Storhamar's performance continued the pattern of dominance they have shown across their recent results. They have scored between 28 and 35 goals in their last five matches, suggesting their attack remains potent.
Utleira's single point from their opening game offered little缓冲 against a side that has not dropped a single point this season. The hosts will need to find consistency if they hope to climb away from the bottom of the table.
The result leaves Storhamar top of the standings with a perfect record. Utleira remain rooted to 12th place with their solitary draw, four points adrift of the leaders after two rounds of fixtures.
