Match: Derome-Åskloster - Kungsbacka IF  2-0  (Division 4 Halland)

Attendance: 75

​

My target this weekend was to attend Ahlafors v Torn at Sjövallen IP in Alafors. Ahlafors are newly promoted and Sjövallen is the only ground I haven't visited in Division 1 Södra. To my delight I managed to find a match in Division 2 Norra Götaland, Zenith v Vänersborgs FK, earlier on Saturday meaning I could do a double. Realising it would be a very long day (3 h 20 min driving one way) for me I decided to go to a match on Friday evening as well. In Division 4 Halland Derome-Åskloster were hosting Kungsbacka IF at 19.00 and that was a perfect match (pun intended) for me. Dersbovallen in Derome is around 15 minutes from Varberg where I had booked a room for the night. Driving on a Friday afternoon there was plenty of traffic and at Falkenberg there was a complete stop on the motorway. After no movement for 15 minutes I realised it must be some kind of accident and being only 100 m from the Falkenberg C exit I used the hard shoulder and used that exit. I then used the old road to get to Varberg and in total I arrived around 45 minutes later than planned. I checked in and then had dinner (hotel buffet) before setting off for Derome.

​

Derome BK and Åskloster IF merged in 2020 and the “new” club use both Dersbovallen in Derome and Klostervallen in Åskloster for their home games. As soon as I stepped out of my car I noticed Dersbovallen was, for this level, a very nice ground to visit. With a clear sky and a temperature of around 20 degrees I had a very pleasant evening in Derome. The home team won 2-0 and the three points actually sends Derome/Åskloster top of the table.
