Last season their NM Cup adventure ended in the 3rd round.

Byåsen delivered a 3-3 draw playing at home against Steinkjer in their previous fixture. As you can tell from the result, the match against Steinkjer was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Prior to that result Byåsen won their away game at Orkla in the 3. Division - Group 5. The scoreline was 6-0.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Byåsen manager Selnaes as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Strindheim.

It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Byåsen have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 1 win, 0 draws and 2 defeats from three fixtures.
