Opening matches for Nationals in NBLL

The Czech National Boxlacrosse League (NBLL) was on for the Nationals team on the weekend of March 11–12 2017.

In the opening match we measured our strength against the Old Dogs Plzen team on the field in Radotin. We had a disconcerted start of the game in cold weather, but after five minutes Thomay opened the score of the match and put us on the road to victory. The opponent, who was without their most valued players, was only able to resist us until the start of the second quarter, and with when the score was 4:4 we spun a web of goals. By the end of the match we scored another 14 goals and our defense worked well, too, directed by Pisar from the goal post. Plzen only managed to score two more goals against us, the last one a second before the end of the match, and this goal meant the finals core was 6:18 for the Nationals.
The above mentioned Thomay greatly contributed to the match (5+5), seconded by Englis (5+1) and Jeck (4+0).

We entered the Sunday lacrosse match against home team SK Lacrosse Jizni Mesto with determination and we went against our opponent with verve. We entered the match brilliantly and we surprised our opponent with three goals in a row. But then Jizni Mesto got their courage and, partly thanks to our mistakes, they evened out the score to 3:3. Patzko sparked some hope when he sent a precise shot from a great distance for the third time that ended up in the net. This goal marked the last time that the scale tipped to the Nationals‘ side with 4:3. The opponent overtook us thanks to the Plechacek brothers. Even shots from greater distances worked for our opponent and our team only managed to score twice more during penalties in break situations thanks to Thomay. A moment worth mentioning was when he sprinted past everyone from back at this goal post and beat the oponent’s otherwise great goalie. The final score was 6:13 in Jizni Mesto’s favor.

We will play the next two rounds of NBLL this weekend March 18–19 2017. On Saturday we play a match against LC ForFun and on Sunday we go up against the multiple year Czech champion LCC Radotin. Both matches will take place at 2.30pm on Vapencova 14 in Bratislava.
