Tatran ensured quarter-finals    (17. 8. 2007, (17.8.2007, florbal.cz – bink, translated by Eva F Novak)) A Czech champion advanced further. It is certain. In spite of losing to Wiler 4:3 in the eightfinals, next victory over the Latvian Lekrings ensured Tatran quarter-finals. There Tatran will play against a defeated team from the duel Pixbo – Future. „Future would be much better opponent, but we will see,“ saidl Martin Richter who plays in Tatran’s colors at Fortuna Czech Open. Tatran encountered Wiler with which it already played on Wednesday’s tournament rehearsal. However, this time the match looked quite differently. Even if Tatran led 2:0, the Swiss opponent recovered and managed to turn a score. And suddenly it was Tatran that had to gain ground. Finally Wiler that scored to 4:3 could rejoice at the victory and it brought it later an advance from the first place of the eight final groups. „We knew that now it will be quite different and that it’s not going to be as easy as on Wednesday. Before they tried on us different playing system and now used a classical personal defense,“ said Martin Richter after the match. An important step in direction to play-off part made Střešovice players in the match with Latvian Lekrings that Tatran conquered 4:1. „With Latvians we had a slightly slower start. They played very tough against us and defended very well. However, in the second half they had not enough strength and we gained a control over the match,“ thought Richter.
