May 8, 2016 - 6th tier - Mostkovice 1 Sigma Lutín 4






May 8th - Olomoucký Kraj - 1 A třída - 6th tier
Mostkovice 1 Sigma Lutín 4
Attendance - 80

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.

Mar 26, 2016 - 3rd tier - Vyškov 1 Zlín B 3






Mar 26, 2016
MSFL - 3rd tier
Vyškov 1 Zlín B 3
Attendance - 283

First of all, sorry about my camera as the pictures seem to be a little fuzzy in one corner.  

I caught the 2nd half of the game, but the stadium in Vyškov is definitely not one of my favourites.  The huge athletics track around the pitch might have something to do with that.  Only 283 people were at the game which is a shame because the weather was perfect and the football was decent.

March 26, 2016 - Okresní Přebor Vyškov - Dědice 0 Brankovice 3








March 26, 2016
Okresní Přebor Vyškov - 8th tier
Sokol Dědice 0 Brankovice 3
Attendance - 65

Dědice is a small village near Vyškov.  It is an easy walk of around 45 minutes from the Vyškov main train station.  The village is probably best known in the Czech Republic for a rather large military base located a few kilometers from the football stadium.  The stadium itself is quite good for the 8th tier with a nice pitch and decent facilities.  I was a little surprised to pay 25kc for a ticket, because most games at this level are 15kc.
