Skara Women defeated Västerås 38-26 in a club friendly on Friday, August 8. The match took place at Västerås' home ground, with the hosts having just picked up a 26-23 win against Skuru the day before.
Skara came into the fixture with momentum of their own, having beaten Skövde 24-19 on Thursday. The visitors' recent run has been mixed, with three losses to IK Sövahof between May and May before that victory.
History between these sides ran against Västerås. They had lost all three meetings with Skara this season — 22-32, 27-30, and 19-29 — before this friendly added another chapter to that pattern.
The 12-goal margin showed Skara's edge in this encounter. Västerås had shown improvement in their last outing, but the friendly did not bring the same result they might have hoped for.
Skara's win caps a busy week of friendlies. They now have two successive victories after a run of defeats, while Västerås' short unbeaten streak came to an end in comfortable fashion for the visitors.
