Dalvik/Reynir

Dalvik/Reynir is an Icelandic football club based in Dalvik. The club was formed in 2006 after the merger between UMFS Dalvik & Reynir Arskogsstrond

History

In 2006 UMFS Dalvik and Reynir Arskogsstrond joined forces to form a new club, Dalvik/Reynir, after Leiftur and Dalvik broke up their cooperation that had formed Leiftur/Dalvik and lasted only four years. This was actually the second time Dalvik and Reynir joined, they first did so in the early 1990s but that time the didn't officially join, Reynir withdrew from the football league and most of the players and staff joined Dalvik. After Dalvik and Leiftur formed Leiftur/Dalvik, Reynir resurfaced and joined the league again with mostly young players from Dalvik that weren't in the Leiftur/Dalvik regular squad.

The team couldn't maintain that good start and missed out on playing in the promotion play-offs even after a late surge, winning the last three games including at home against play-offs rivals Magni. Even though Dalvik/Reynir were only two points after Magni and level on points with Leiknir F. before the final day they were already out of the play-offs race since Hottur had already secured the top spot and Leiknir and Magni would meet on the final day with both teams having a far better goal difference than Dalvik/Reynir meaning that no matter how that match would end, one of the two would beat Dalvik/Reynir by either a goal difference or points.

2007 season

The 2007 season did not start well. Two away losses, first against a supposedly weaker team Vinir and then Leiknir F., one of the strongest teams in the group, meant important points were lost early in the very short season. The team never really recovered properly after that and af
