July 18, 2018 - Friendly - Čechovice 0 Hněvotín 3 (in Vrahovice)






July 18, 2018 - Friendly in Vrahovice
Čechovice (6th tier) 0 Hněvotín (5th tier) 3
Attendance - 30

I am not sure why Čechovice did not host this match on their pitch, which is probably only 5km away from Vrahovice.  Hněvotín are only one tier higher than Čechovice but the difference in technical quality was clear.  They just had that extra step which Čechovice did not have.

July 1, 2018 - World U16 Boys Ball Hockey Championships - Canada vs USA






World U16 Boys Ball Hockey Championships in Přerov, Czech Republic

Canada vs USA
Attendance - 200

I did not really know what to expect because ball hockey is a sport which I played on the streets in Canada when I was a little boy.  I was not sure what the level was going to be, but since this was a World Championships, I expect the level to be decent.  The match was played in ice arena where the 2nd tier Přerov hockey team plays.  Most of the crowd was made up of a respectable amount of Americans and Canadians who made the trip to support their children.  I do not remember the score, but I think it might have been Canada 0 USA 3.

July 4, 2018 - Friendly - SK Prostějov 7 Sigma Olomouc U21 2





July 4, 2018 - Friendly
SK Prostějov 7 Sigma Olomouc U21 2
Attendance - 130

This was the 2nd pre season friendly for SK Prostějov as they prepare for the Czech Republic 2.liga.  The match took place at the SK Prostějov training centre, which has minimal facilities.  I was a little surprised at the poor play of Sigma U21, but this was their first pre season match.  Apparently there were also two red cards which is quite unusual for a friendly.
