August 26, 2020 - Olomouc District Cup SF - Hraničné Petrovice 3 Červenka 5







 August 26, 2020 - Olomouc District Cup SF 

Hraničné Petrovice (9th tier) 3 Červenka (8th tier) 5 

Attendance - 74

Almost two months ago I travelled for Hraničné Petrovice for a weekday cup match.  The village has a population of only 150 and sits at an elevation of 587m above sea level.  The village does not have much except for the football pitch, a church and a few homes.  To get there I had to take a train from Prostějov to Olomouc and finally to Domašov nad Bystřicí.  From there I had to walk around 3-4km, becauses buses to Hraničné Petrovice are few and far between.

The pitch was had a simple set up, with only a few benches.  It was slightly elevated over the rest of the village.  As for the match, the visitors deserved the win, but with a few more bounces the hosts could have found themselves progressing to the final.  This competition serves as regional qualifiers for the 2021/22 Czech Cup.
