The Skjern team suffered the season's first defeat when the West Jutlanders lost 34-28 after 15-12 at halftime.
The West Jutlanders were again without Joachim Møller, who is currently out with a minor muscle fiber injury.
From the stands he could watch his teammates create many chances - though without the necessary sharpness in front of goal.
It was the visitors, however, and the halftime lead was maintained throughout the second half, where Oscar Carlén at the same time got virtually the whole squad into action.
The next task for the green team is on Saturday in Herning, when HC Midtjylland await at 14:00.
