Keeper Torbjørn Bergerud blocked the goal, while the attacking play was like a rifle bullet in the moose. Eight minutes into the half, Sigvaldi Björn Gudjonsson pounced in attack and scored 5-1 to the Trønders. Sigersvande Elverum came closest to being counted as extras. Tobias Grøndahl and Elverum crawled back up the back and were only two goals behind ten minutes later. But the red jerseys from Trondheim managed to hold on, and went into the break leading 16-13. Also in the second half, it was Kolstad who drove the game. Five minutes into the half they led 20-15. Elverum fought and did what they could, but it wasn’t enough against the golden trønders in Kolstad. Midway through the half, Kolstad led with seven goals. Three minutes before the end, Simen Ulstad Lyse put the nail in the coffin when he hammered home Kolstad’s 33rd goal to make it 33-27. Kolstad eventually won comfortably 34-27. Got paid for investment in the millions Kolstad invests millions of kroner to become one of the best teams in Europe. This was thus the hard-hitting club’s first title ever. But there are many indications that there may be more Kolstad cheers this season. As mentioned, the club tops the elite series. In addition, the series finale comes towards the end of the season, where gold medals will also be awarded.
