This rivalry between two of Sandoy's biggest towns went on for several summers, bringing in truckloads of people from Skopun, even though cars had yet to be accessible to the common man.

Players like Eli Hentze, Torbjørn Jensen, brothers Róin and Jóan Petur Clementsen, and many more, were still playing in the youth divisions, and would not feature prominently until they came of age in the second half of the 1980s.

When all was said and done, B71 ended up with a resounding 31-point tally, as opposed to a more modest 22 points by runners-up HB, who, coincidentally, were pummeled 6–2 in the final match of the season against none other than, B71.

B71's success has, in later years, been attributed largely to the successful blend of a Polish influence, consisting of coach Jan Kaczynski, robust midfielder, turned coach, Piotr Krakowski, goalkeeper Waldemar Nowicki, and uniquely solid local players, including, Eli Hentze, Ib Mohr Olsen, Páll á Reynatúgvu, Torbjørn Jensen, brothers Róin and Jóan Petur Clementsen, and many more.

Although B71 continued to pose a threat in the Faroese top-division during the early 1990s, (never finishing lower than 4th) they never captured the league trophy a second time.

The youth squads of B71 also seemed to produce quality players, greatly due to the hiring of youth-coach Martin Kúrberg who stayed with B71 for many years.

Allegations of tapping up and player-poaching echoed from the B71 camp, while B36 kept refuting the claims, suggesting that the B71 board had been notified of the club's interest in Magnus.

[8] Apart from Magnus Olsen, players including Hanus Clementsen, Jóhannis Jensen and Clayton Soares were all ruled out, while successful defender Anders Rasmussen had left, during pre-season.

The second part of the season was considered somewhat better than the first, with the team playing better football and producing fair results, but in the end they came up short with a meager 22 points.

Goalkeeper Símun Rógvi Hansen and talented midfielder Gudmund Nielsen, both 21, signed with HB and champions EB/Streymur, respectively.

Appointing Piotr Krakowski has been dubbed coming home, by the media, for the highly rated coach,[14] because of his affiliation with the team in the 1990s.

Ghambian-born Dane Bakary Bojang[20] and Andrezej Bednarz[21] from Poland were recruited to try and salvage an otherwise miserable season, but to no avail.

However, ÍF had used an illegal player in this 2–0 victory and B71 won their appeal to the Faroese Football Association, thus clinching promotion on a technicality.

Though the team was composed of some well known local talent, that didn't result in better than 7th place in the league at the end of the season; it was safe from relegation, yet miles away from promotion.

Though the club was financially healthy and with a good youth set up, the flagship men's team was haemorrhaging points and struggling to keep the attention of the local community.

After some good results in the firsta half of the season, though, Bakary had to step down as head coach for personal reasons.

[25] The club got to work in bringing in a replacement and hired Swedish coach Stefan Hansson to finish the remainder of the season.

After the end of the season, it was announced that Christopher Harrington would leave B71 to join HB as joint women's- and head of youth coach.

[28] B71 appointed Englishman Richard Goffe from ÍBV as new head coach, days before Christmas, on a 2-year deal, until the end of the 2021 season.

B71 signed prolific striker, Valdemar Schousboe, from Marienlyst for the second half of the season, who went on to score 11 goals for the club in as many games, keeping B71 in the running for promotion.

[32] Hopes were high for this first season in the top division, but reality soon set in, as AB/B71 went on a losing streak for almost the entire season, even though attempts were made with bolstering the squad with Swedish born players Anna Maja Steenari[33] and Linnéa Magnusson,[34] as well as Danish/Faroese Rebekka Katrine Dahl Olsen[35] coming in from Denmark, all to no avail.

AB/B71 managed to salvage a single win in the second to last round, beating HB 2–1 at home Inni í Dal on Sandoy.

Second half of the season saw nearest competitors for the promotion spot, AB, closing the gap on B71 and even going in front with a fair point margin.

B71 were up 1-0 for a while in the 1st half, but ultimately the game ended in a 1–1 draw, which secured AB's promotion to the top division for the 2022 season.

[38] B71, in turn, finished the season in a respectable 4th-place position, which also marked the highest league placing since relegating from the top division back in 2011.

Spurred on by good results in the previous season, hopes were high for having another go at promotion, bringing in an American trio of players in James Drye, Jovanni "Gio" Garcia and Carter Beck, Icelandic Ágúst Birgisson and Símun Rógvi Hansen in goal.

After some deliberation on name, representatives and objectives, Guli Dalurin was formally introduced as B71's new supporters' group at the club's upcoming home game 20 August 2022, against 07 Vestur.

The club's crest shows the Faroese flag (a red, white and blue Scandinavian Cross) centred on a shield.

[57] While, now defunct women's handball team, Vípan never had any direct affiliation with B71, it is oftentimes spoken of in the same breath and even mentioned in B71's official club history.

[1] Founded in 1942 by doctor Leif Dahl and later coached by teacher Kjartan Hentze, Vípan was very successful during its short lifespan, winning the Faroese handball championship in 1944 and again in 1949, before the team quietly faded into the history books.
