A perfect start
Praha & Kladno, 14.10.2006
Our two teams ("A team" playing the second league, "B team" playing the district teams competition) participated the first of five rounds on Saturday OCT 14,2006.
The "A team" played in Prague against two Prague teams TJ Spoje Praha and
Astra ZM Praha. Both rivals were considered as the hardest ones of all second-league teams but this didn't discourage our team when all our players had showed their best. Kladno "A team" won both matches 5:3 and gained 6 important points in this all season competition.
The "B team" played in Kladno against the last year winners So Jílové and competition newcomers TJ Loko Praha. The B team also won both matches - thanks to our veterans, we have to admit - namely 5:3 against So Jílové and 7:1 against TJ Loko Praha.
Hope that both our teams will continue to perform such excellent results.
