2010 Men’s Fastpitch European Championships

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Information courtesy of the Guernsey Softball Association website.

The 2010 Men’s Fastpitch European Championships take place next week in the Czech Republic and if anyone is interested, there are select games scheduled for broadcast on Czech TV (as listed below). The results etc. can be found on the Tournament Website.

It’s not clear if these games will be available for viewing after they have been shown at the scheduled time(s). However, there are still games from previously broadcast Czech tournaments available through the TV Channel’s website so it would seem possible that these will also be archived (type in ‘softball’ in the search box).

All times are in Czech (+1 hour of GMT)

25th July (22:45 CZ) – Recorded broadcast of Czech v Great Britain

26th July (08:00 CZ) – Recorded broadcast of Czech v Great Britain

27th July (07:50 CZ) – Recorded broadcast of Czech v Denmark

31st July (12:30 CZ) – Live broadcast of the Bronze Medal game

Editor’s note: The Google Chrome browser has a great “translate” feature that is helpful with foreign language websites like this one. If you don’t have Chrome, you can download it for free, here. I found it easier to navigate the above sites when reading the English translation. If all else fails, you can always plug the URL of any webpage into Google Translate.

My friend and 50+ teammate Bernie Lopez is over in Europe to attend the tournament, and will be sending us some reports and photos to share. Sort a different version of “Weekend at Bernie’s”.
