May 29th - Okres Prostějov - II třída - Brodek u Prostějova 2 Haná Prostějov 2





May 29th - Okres Prostějov - II třída - 8th tier
Brodek u Prostějova 2 Haná Prostějov 2 Brodek won 3-1 on penalties
Attendance - 120

Brodek u Prostějova is a market town of 1,500 people located 12km south of Prostějov.  On the weekend, it is easy enough to take a bus from Prostějov.

The most famous football son from Brodek u Prostějova is Tomáš Bureš who played for Sigma Olomouc, Drnovice, Brno, LeRK Prostějov and SK Prostějov between 1995 and 2015.

As for the match, Haná were again short on players and had to play four U19 players.  With that being said, they all held their own and did not look out of place on the pitch.  Haná scored in the 89th minute, but unfortunately for them, the hosts scored in the 91st minute and went on to win the two points on penalties.  This all meant that Haná has for the part for lost their chance of finishing in first place.  They are 6 points behind Němcice nad Hanou with 2 games left.

Okres Prostějov - II trída - 8th tier
Čechovice B 2 Haná Prostějov 0
Attendance - 34

Haná are the time were battling for 1st place, but did not show anything of the sort.  A number of players were missing, and the starting line up was pieced together a few minutes before the match.  The sooner this game is forgotten about the better.

May 8th - Olomoucký Kraj - 1 A třída - 6th tier
Mostkovice 1 Sigma Lutín 4

A classic first vs last place match up.  Sigma Lutín were just too strong on the day, and look good for promotion.  On the other side, Mostkovice look like they could be on the way down.

Okres Šumperk - 8th tier - Loučna nad Desnou









Okres Šumperk - 8th tier

Loučna nad Desnou is a town of 1900 people located 55km north of Olomouc and 191km east of Prague.   The area is probably most known in Moravia for skiing, and most certainly not football.  The local side currently plays in the 8th tier.  During the 2009/10 season, the club played in the 6th tier, but after the season they relegated themselves to the 8th tier.  Perhaps the most well known player who started their career at Loučna is Radoslav Kováč. The former Czech Republic international began his career at the age of 9 with Loučna and went on to play for Sigma Olomouc, Spartak Moscow, West Ham, and Sparta Prague.

Apr 3, 2016 - Under 19 - Brodek u Konice 0 Haná Prostějov 5










Apr 3, 2016 
Prostějov - OFS Přebor Dorost 
Brodek u Konice 0 Haná Prostějov 5
Attendance - 8

Brodek u Konice is impossible to reach on the weekends by public transportation, so if you do not have a car, it is a little problematic to reach.  I took a 30-minute bus from Prostějov to Hrochov and from there I walked about 4km through the hills.  Brodek is a village of around 900 people, and have an elevation of 600m.  It is located in the hills about 25km from Prostějov.

I think Prostějov OFS Přebor Dorost is the 4th level or 5th level of U19 football in the Czech Republic.  The men's team plays in the 8th level of football.
