The last day of April marked the culmination of the season in the form of the Final Four for the youth team of the Atlas Blansko Floorball Club. The tournament, which took place in Tuřany in Brno, brought together the best four teams of the basic part of the 2nd youth league.
In the first half, the best team after the basic part, the home Troopers and the team in fourth place – Cheetahs Brno – collided. The favorite managed the match in the ratio of 3: 1. After this match, Atlas Blansko players started against Bulldogs Brno U15.

The match was played carefully from the beginning. In the 3rd minute, Bulldogs played a hand and offered Blansko an overpowering game. However, Atlas did not use it. In the 8th minute, Veselý from Brno, who passed Opletal, opened the scoring. When Továrek made his mark at the beginning of the second part, Atlas was already losing by two goals. However, the Blansko players knew that the match was not even in the middle and kept a cool head. After a beautiful individual action by Kovařík, who served the ball to Navrátil, Atlas got within one goal.
Unfortunately, soon after the reduction came the exclusion of Blansko’s Pernica, which the Bulldogs did not use, but poured fresh blood into his veins. In the 29th minute, the Brno Buraj increased the score to 3: 1. Thanks to Vojtěch Polách, who had the best orientation in the goal area, the Atlas managed to reduce the difference to a single goal again.
Atlas flew wonderfully into the third period. First, the Brno team scored their own goal, so that in the next substitution Pernica with a beautiful shot into the gallows turned the situation to the side of Blansko. At that moment, the Bulldogs team was neutralized and it didn’t look like there would be a reversal in the match. Unfortunately, Macháček managed to equalize from a single shot and thus directed the match into overtime.
Careful floorball was played in overtime and the goal did not fall, it was time for raids. He converted Jeřábek, Langr and Navrátil for Atlas, while three Bulldogs from four were caught by the fantastic Opletal and sent Atlas to the finals.

The final match against the home Troopers was in a great atmosphere of the spectators watching. At the beginning of the match, careful, defensive floorball was played. Sometimes the Troopers attacked the defense of Blansko, but she knew here, so the number of attempts was diminishing. When one of the teams was able to go through the opponent’s defense and get to the shot, then in the opening, the goalkeepers, on the Dvořák side, on Olanal in Blansko.
The home team opened the score in the 21st minute with the shot under the upper bar, when Opletal did not see a shot from the middle distance at all. However, it could be compared immediately, but unfortunately a separate escape of one of the Blane ones was covered by Dvořák. Excluding the heroes from the semifinals, Langra’s Troopers put the Atlas under pressure, but did not increase the score.
In the third period, the Troopers guarded the skinny and had the ball more on their sticks, but Atlas also had a dangerous chance. The score changed in the 39th minute, when the home team was hit. At that moment, the Blane people have nothing but open the game and try to reverse the state of the match. Unfortunately, the home team increased to 3: 0. Pernica arranged a hope for Atlas at the last minute. The game without a goalkeeper didn’t help Blanenský either, so unfortunately I can’t improve my position from the basic part.

Coach Janík’s evaluation: “In the first match, he showed enormous strength when he was able to turn from 1: 3 to 4: 3 and did not even put a tie in. Our shooters were 100% in the raids and the opponents were caught by the great Honza Opletal. In the final, I expected the Troopers to fly at us, which didn’t quite happen, so the match was open until the end. Unfortunately, we only scored at the last minute and with that we can’t win many matches. The season was long and, except for a slight hesitation in January, we succeeded not only in points, but also in performances. I dare say that in the vast majority of matches, Atlas has always been a better team. “
