The opening football game of the season was transferred from Øksfjord to Alta because the pitch still had a metre of snow on it. Well it appears that losing the home ground advantage proved disasterous for the teenage boys from Loppa. The good news is that Øksfjord scored from a stunning free kick. The bad news is that the Alta team also scored...21 times. Øksfjordians love their snowmobiles, yet passionately disagree over which make is best. According to this year's sales, the Arctic Cat is the biggest seller in Alta but the worst in nearby reindeer roaming Kautokeino, where Lynx is the preferred brand. Lynx is the least popular brand in Alta, which proves the old saying...'horses for courses'.....or is it reindeer.
