The U15 girls have completed their Prague qualification for the U15 league. The qualification process did not bring progression, but even so the coaches see mainly positives in the tournament played, but also a lot of work that the team still has ahead. Hopes are now focused on the all-Czech qualification in November.
"We take it positively - we managed to show a much better performance than last week at the Prague Championship, and that in all matches.
The first match against Astra was a tough one, but completely beyond our strength. We were slower, weaker and despite our fighting spirit and excellent performance by the goalkeeper we lost 15:26.
In the second match we faced the home team Slavia. We somewhat surprised them with our tenacity in the first half and at half-time we were only three goals behind (8:11). In the second half, however, we were unable to score, mainly due to the opponent's tight defence, and eventually lost heavily 10:20.
The third match against Háje started very sluggishly on our part. Fortunately, we managed to get going during the first half, even though we were losing by three goals twice in the course of the match. This time, however, we did not give up. The final five minutes on the pitch belonged to us, and so we fought for a 16:14 win.
In the last match against Kobylisy we again fought for the result. The match was like a seesaw, every moment someone was pulling on the shorter end of the rope, but in the end we failed to convert any of the four clear chances in the dying moments and the opponents punished us. The result 11:13 is still much better than a 10-goal defeat last week, so we are leaving with our heads held high.
We have definitely confirmed our assumptions from last week today - that we will certainly not be a walkover in Prague... And we are by no means at full strength. But we will have to fight for the U15 league in November in the all-Czech qualification. Until then we have time to work on what is holding us back - we need to gain playing confidence, eliminate technical errors, overcome the fear of contact in defence and make our shooting more effective. We have a difficult task ahead of us, but we will manage it, keep your fingers crossed", coach Karolina Kuprová evaluated the tournament.
