We returned to the Czech Republic only three weeks after the Prague tournament to participate in the third round of the Moravian Dodgeball League over the weekend, this time in Brno.
This event was a significant day for the history of our sport in Hungary as this was the very first time that a Hungarian women’s dodgeball team has played an international match – 3 matches in fact, and not against any ordinary opponents.In their lead-off match – after brushing off some stage-fright – the pirate lasses have successfully introduced themselves with an exciting victory (Budapest Pirates vs Dodgeball Koprivnice 14-10).
Afterwards, they faced team Best of Moravia, made up of by the members of the Czech national team, who placed 6th during the last European Championships. We were hanging on by a thread, but in an incredibly exhilarating game we managed to overcome our far more experienced and odds-on favourite opponents. Whoever that was lucky enough to witness the dramatic finale in the second half and see the hype will surely not forget it ( Budapest Pirates vs BOM 13-9 ).
In the final match of the day the host team secured a victory as expected, albeit in a quite heated and close match against our weary and – by then – a little battle-scarred team ( D.Storm Brno vs Budapest Pirates )
