CUP === Final: Molde-Lyn 3-2 Semifinals: Lyn-Moss 2-0, 1-2 Molde-Rosenborg 2-1, 2-2 Quarterfinals: Hødd-Lyn 3-5 aet. Molde-Tromsø 2-0 Odd-Moss 1-4 Rosenborg-Brann 2-0 LEAGUE ====== PREMIER DIVISION Rosenborg win the league for the third time in succession, after leading the table from start to finish. Lillestrøm win the silver medals, and Viking the bronze after a strong second half, but neither of these sides are able to be worthy challengers to RBK. Of the three newcomers, two go straight down, whereas the last team, VIF Fotball, manage to survive but only just. Last season's surprise team Bodø/Glimt are saved from the drop on the last day of the season.

It is also interesting to compare the pre-WC and post-WC attendances. The average for the 10 rounds before the World Cup was as high as 7024, whereas the last 12 rounds attracted only 4504 per game. Quite a large decrease in interest. FIRST DIVISION Of the four promoted teams, only Stabæk will make their debut in the premier division next season. Molde go straight up after the relegation last year, and are followed by their neighbours Hødd. In the other group, Strindheim will try for a second time after the one season in 1984, and make sure of a local derby in Trondheim again. Down in the second division go Stjørdals/Blink and Vidar after only one season, Bærum after three seasons and for the first time (ever?) the old premier division side Mjøndalen. A bad year for the football in the Drammen-area indeed.

Haugesund (ex-Djerv 1919+Haugar) and Aalesund are back after only one season in the second, Odd's last appearance was in 1992 and Sandefjord's in 1991. Sarpsborg are back after 14 years absence, whereas Stålkameratene play in the first divison for the first time since 1978. However, at that time they played in the regional first division for Northern Norway, so it's their debut in the national first division.
