The team was playing in the 1st Division for the first time since 2000 and people and fans in the town were excited for the season. The team goalkeeper for the past 13 years had retired and the team captain had also retired so a lot of burden had been put on the shoulders of the young players in the team. Tindastoll signed four English players before the season and they made a big impact on the team. Tindastoll's first victory of the season came in the end of May when they beat BI/Bolungarvík 5-2, where Theo Furness scored a hat-trick. June delivered the team five points and in a very close league the team was around mid table when July started.
