The reason for Karlsson's disappointment was that the victory margin was only two points, 46-44. After ten heat led with a full 14 (37-23).

But after the break something happened. Västervik caught up with most of the downside, and in the end it was only two points difference.

- It feels like we lost. The guys are with the tail between the legs. It will be a bad aftertaste, Västervik came out very strongly towards the end, says Dackarnas team leader Peter Karlsson to Vimmerby Tidning.

"Won actually ..."

Karlsson suspects that the team may have relaxed as they led so big.

- Yes, it is damn easy and sports are good. We were leading by 14 points and they are barely 12, but we must try to see the positive. We actually won and it is not easy to come here and even win a competition and now we won a semi-final. But this meeting is very much alive now, he says.
