That was the melody for the first two periods. In the third period we saw a Gimle team with intensity and control in defence. They won the period 17-5. The last period was more even with good shooting from Nordstrand's Anya Sodal.
17 year old Ingrid Selvik (175-F-92) had a good debut for Gimle after the transfer from town rival Hop before the season. Hop had to withdraw from Kvinneligaen due to internal matters in the club and Selvik was one of the players who found a new club. Selvik had 15 points, good intensity in defence and can be happy after her debut. Birte Hegrenaes had 17 points for Gimle and Anya Sodal and Ellen Aas had each 14 for Nordstrand.
