Again, the Vipers fossa through the elite series. The club has won all league matches this season. For Wednesday, the competitors had to confirm again that the superb Vipers are still as superb as they have been in recent years. Storhamar advanced to the “series final” in Hamar on Wednesday evening. The home team led by three goals early on, but ten minutes into the game the Vipers took the lead and never looked back. At the break it was 21-15 to the Vipers. The Vipers eventually won 36-31. Second gold in a short time Vipers thus collected the second title of the season. They recently won the cup, when they beat Sola in the final. The fresh series gold came on the same day as it was announced who will be the new head coach at the club. Slovakian Tomas Hlavaty will be head coach next season. He took over from Ole Gustav Gjekstad, who will take over as coach in Danish Odense next season. Now only the Oslo club Vestar, which ruled in the 70s, and Larvik have more league gold than Vipers. Vipers still have a long way to go to Larvik’s fairytale winning streak of 13 series championships in a row between 2005 and 2017. Ragnhild Valle Dahl finishes for Vipers against Storhamar.

Because it’s not all joy and fun in the southern club during the day. There has been a storm around marketing manager Christer Paulsen, who called a Byåsen player “fat” on Facebook. At the same time, he lied when he claimed to have been hacked. Paulsen admitted several days later that it was he himself who had written the comment.
