Olomoucký kraj - 1 B třída - 7th tier
Radslavice 1 Haná Prostějov 0
Attendance - 100

The last Haná Prostějov match of the 2017/18 season was away to Radslavice in June, and away to Radslavice was the 2nd away match of the 2018/19 season.  I do not really have anything new to add, as I have written about Radslavice before.  The match was quite poor, but Haná were unlucky not to have come away with at least one point.  In the 88th minute, the ball bounced of the hand of one of the Haná players and a penalty was called which the hosts converted to take the three points.

Attendance - 67

For the first time since the 2012/13 season, Kovalovice are a stand alone team.  They were previously known as Kojetín B, but they have changed back to their historical name.  The village only has a population of around 140 which makes it one of the smallest places in the Czech Republic to have a football club (formed in 1942). The atmosphere at the matches is decent as it seems the village really supports the club.  They even have an online fan shop which is very rare for this level.

Lipová 4 Čechovice 0
Att - 98

Lipová played in the Czech 4th tier for four season between 2000 and 2004, and in the 3rd tier from 2004 to 2008.  Not too bad for a village of 731.  I could be wrong, but I think for a few years they were essentially supported by Sigma Olomouc.  From what I read, Lipová was a C team for Sigma.

The ground is one of my favourites in the Prostějov district and I would highly recommend a visit for those who enjoy groundhopping.

Czech Cup - 1st round

July 28. 2018 

Hranice 5 Ústí u Hranic 4 (AET)

I was expecting a little more off the field, but on the field I was not disappointed.  Last weekend, I made the short trip to Hranice, a place I have been a number of times to watch football.  For me, the worst part of watching football in Hranice is the 45 minute walk from the train station to the football pitch.  I suppose it isn't that long, but in 32C heat it is not the best option.

Both clubs play in the 4th tier of football in the Czech Republic and are only separated by 2 or 3km.  As such, I was expecting a bigger crowd for this local derby, but only 280 people showed up.  It was their loss, as the match was fantastic.  Hranice scored on the last play of the match to tie it at 3-3 and to send it into extratime.  From there three more goals were scored and Hranice eventually came out on top.

I am not sure when the stadium was built, but I think it was during the 1950's.  In 1997 the stadium was badly damaged after the Bečva river flooded.  It underwent renovation last in 2012.
