Welcome among the women's elite: 1. SC Vítkovice    (29. 7. 2010, florbal.cz)
The last team to play in the women's elite category of Chance Czech Open in group A is Vítkovice. The bronze team of the past season of the Czech Extraliga will thus have an opportunity to continue with their good results from the season also in the preliminary group stage, and maybe also to follow the fact that they were the only team who defeated the sovereign of the Czech women's floorball, Herbadent Prague.

At last year's Czech Open, the team from Ostrava reached the round of eight and won precious scalps of Swedish teams. But it will be interesting to see the team's performance without their key player from last season and their most productive player, Tereza Urbánková.

Vítkovice can rely on other excellent players. Their success might depend on great performances by the goalie Kubíčková, who was a hard nut to crack for all forwards in Extraliga. Another stable team member is the regular national team player Zuzana Macurová, the incredibly hard-working, versatile player with excellent skills.

Vítkovice, the traditional participant of the Czech top division, in which they have been playing for 17 seasons already, achieved their biggest success at the summer tournament in Prague in 2008, when they won bronze medals. However, since then the women's elite category saw many changes and it will be very tough a task to succeed in this year's fierce competition.
