Norwegian Drammen have a new coach – Kristian Kjelling! With him on the bench one of the best Scandinavian club ever won the first match in 2016. The former Norwegian NT star led his players to the away success against Runar Sanderfjord 31:23. Drammen are in bad series this year with only 10 points from 14 matches…
– This means a lot. What matters most is that we have had two training sessions where we’ve trained on two specific things and it works. I am relieved. It meant a lot to the guys and the whole club. It has not had many pleasant experiences in this t-shirt during season, says Kjelling.
The 36-years old left back had great career abroad:
