September 9, 2018 - Tovačov 5 Haná Prostějov 2

September 9, 2018
Olomoucký kraj - 1 B třída - 7th tier
Tovačov 5 Haná Prostějov 2
Attendance 190

I had been to Tovačov three or four times in the past to watch Haná Prostějov play, so my trip a few weeks back was nothing too interesting.  As such, I decided to go by bike along the bike and tractor paths.  In the end it took me around 24km each way, with the most difficult part close to Tovačov in the forest. 

The town is well worth a visit for football and a stop for a tour at the local chateau.  There are also a number of carp ponds around the town, which adds to the draw.  The local football side is also well supported, for the level, and they have a small stand which overlooks the chateau tower.

September 2, 2018 - Women's football - 4th tier - Držovice 0 Brumov 3

September 2, 2018 

MSDŽ - Group B - 4th tier

Držovice 0 Brumov 3

Attendance - 70

Coming from Canada I grew up watching a high level of women's football, but I have not paid much attention to women's football since moving to the Czech Republic.  I do watch the women's national team when they are on TV, but that is about it.  Over the past 10 years I think it is fair to say that women's football has improved in the Czech Republic.  The national team is getting better results, and a few clubs have made deep runs into the Champions League.

A few weeks back, I decided to watch some local football in my area and made the short trip to Držovice which was once part of Prostějov.  The women's side formed a few years back, and had a break through season last year winning a couple of matches.  However, against Brumov they never looked like scoring.  The visitors had a few players who have played at a higher level and looked a little more athletic, and were a constant threat.  

Three weeks have passed since I watched Držovice play and unfortunately they are struggling so far this season.  They have 0 points after four matches, scored 2 goals and have given up 22.  Hopefully, they will pick up some points this Sunday when they host Mutěnice at 15:30.

September 2nd, 2018 - Smržice 0 Zvole 1

September 2nd, 2018

Olomoucký kraj - 1 B třída - 7th tier

Smržice 0 Zvole 1

Attendance - 130

Not really much to say about this match.  Smržice is a village which is easy to reach by bike from Prostějov so I usually end up going to one or two matches every season.  Over the past few years the club has been supported well by the locals and it has a nice set up for a lower level side.

September 1, 2018 - Czech Cup 1st round - Žeravice 30 Sokol Prostějov 25

September 1, 2018 - Handball - Czech Cup 1st round
Žeravice 30 Sokol Prostějov 25
Attendance - 40

A love any kind of cup competition, and the Czech Handball Cup is no different.  Sokol Prostějov and Žeravice both play in the 3rd tier of handball, but this match was played in Přerov at Spartak Sportovní Hala.  I try to attend a few Prostějov away matches each season, and I am usually the only away support.  This time was no different, as it seems not even the home fans were bothered to show up.  Žeravice is a small village a few kilometres north of Přerov, and not even the glory of a cup competition could help encourage people to attend.
