November 11, 2018 - Velké Losiny 8 Černovír 1








November 11, 2018 - Olomoucký Krajský Přebor - 5th tier
Velké Losiny 8 Černovír 1
Attendance - 100

The football club in Velké Losiny was established in 1947.  For a small town near the Jeseniký mountains, the club has done well.  The village has a population of around 2,800 and is worth a visit, not only for football.  It is possible to go on tour of the Baroque-style chateau as well as the oldest handmade papermill in Europe.

Velké Losiny played in the Czech Republic 4th tier between 2000 and 2006 and again between 2007 and 2010.  For the past 8 years, they have been playing in the 5th tier.  The stadium is situated with a nice view of the hills, and has an old stand.

Černovír has a small group of ultras, which is quite rare at this level of football in the Czech Republic.  Around 20 made the trip for the last match before the winter break.  In only took a few minutes for them to celebrate, as Černovír struck early.  However, the hosts scored 8 goals unanswered to take the three points.

November 4th, 2018 - Handball - Kostelec na Hané 25 HBC Olomouc 24


November 4th, 2018 - 3rd tier handball
Kostelec na Hané 25 HBC Olomouc 24
Attendance - 83

Kostelec is a village only 5km from Prostějov, which makes it an easy place to reach.  The local football team plays in the 6th tier, but the town has always been a handball town.  In the early 2000's. Kostelec played in the 1st tier of handball in a joint Czech and Slovak league.  They hosted the biggest clubs, but now they have been playing in the 3rd tier for 10 years and have been struggling to get out of it.  I get the feeling that after a few years of playing at the top, they are satisfied to be playing at their current level.
