Football fever hit Øksfjord today as both the A team and the junior boy team played games at Vassdalen stadium (not much of a stadium actually, but surrounded by pretty mountains). The A team has struggled this season with some massive losses, but they turned the tables today and produced 90 minutes of wonderful team play that resulted in a supreme 8-0 victory over the hapless Kvalsund team.

The junior boy team is made up of boys from five different villages in the surrounding districts. They don't train together and have only played together on a handful of occassions. The Øksfjord lads in particular have had to adapt to playing on a full size field, having trained for most of the year inside a gymnasium, barely the size of a basketball court. The endevour was good, but they struggled to put together enough goal scoring opportunities and lost to the team from Alta.
