There has been a lot of focus on the financial problems for Vipers Kristiansand recently. The club needs NOK 6 million to maintain liquidity through the season. If they fail to do so, the club is threatened with bankruptcy. In the match against Esbjerg on Sunday afternoon, Katrine Lunde and the rest of the Vipers players showed no indication that the financial situation has affected them. Season’s best in the championship The club, which has won the championship three years in a row, showed its season’s best, winning 37-32 in Blue Water Dokken in Esbjerg. The Danish team had not lost, either in the Champions League or in the domestic series, since September. Katrine Lunde played a good game, with a save percentage close to 40 percent.

Jana Knedlikova and Anna Vjakhireva were the top scorers for Vipers, with 11 and 7 goals respectively. Both Henny Reistad and Nora Mørk play for Esbjerg. Reistad hit six of nine shots, while Mørk hit seven of 14 shots. Back in fourth place With the victory, Vipers are back in fourth place in the group, with 11 points. Metz and Esbjerg top the group with 18 points each, and are almost guaranteed the two direct places to the quarter-finals in the Champions League. Ikast has third place, with 15 points. Behind Vipers is Krim, with the same points as Vipers. FTC holds the last place that gives a playoff to the quarter-finals, with 8 points. Rapid Bucharest has 7 points, while MKS Lubin is last with 0 points. Anna Vjakhireva once again proved important for Vipers Kristiansand. Photo: NTB
