The Øksfjord A team played last night on a cold Wednesday evening against fancied opponent Frea. The entire Øksford squad never trains together as many live 3, 4 and 6 hours away. The first half was a sloppy affair as Øksfjord struggled to combine well as a team. At the break, it was Frea leading 1-0.

When the teams resumed, it was Øksfjord that took control and were unlucky to be behind 2-0. However, the young boys dug in and the hardwork paid off, slotting home four second half goals to record a well deserved 4-2 victory.

The low point was a distasteful spitting incident that caused Øksfjord to finish the game with 10 men. It's enough that we witness young impressionable kids diving to the ground clutching ankles. We don't need them spitting at each other as well.

Meanwhile, the Alta river continues to deliver the goods with a catch of 19.5 kg. Who knew that the salmon season could create such excitement on a daily basis and account for such a large portion of the local media coverage.
