CZECH HISTORY
— TRADITION SINCE 1937 —
SK Maloměřice
The club was established on 07.02.1937 as SK Maloměřice. Police Inspector Jan Vyhlídka was elected the first chairman and Eduard Cikerle, the founder of the club, was elected acting vice-chairman. This makes the club to one of the oldest in the city.
The first football field was built on the land of the Maloměřice cement factory in the place of
today's
Kulkova Street, on the other side of the tracks. The club played on
this pitch for a relatively short time and after three years the playing
surface had to gave way to the construction of a road. Another
playground was built on a spare allotted
land on the site of today's
freight station, which, as it turned out with the passage of time, was
not exactly the happiest solution.
In 1944 the sports ground was moved again, this time to land behind the railway, to todays location.
— COMMUNIST TIMES 1949+ —
TJ Tatran Maloměřice
Typical for its time, the close approximity to industrial production and the communist organization in unions and sport organizations dictated the name of the club, TJ Tatran Maloměřice, related to specific trade unions, in this case forestry, wood industry, paper industry and construction,
was in this case related to the closeby MCV factory. These unions replaced the famous sokols that organized the sport in Czechoslovakia before and that were important sources of the national awakenening and that was dismantled by the Nazis in 1941. Without going too much into details, the term "TJ" was introduced in 1957, a name that is still represented in our original name.
One success was the accession to the I. B Trida in 1972.
Little history background: It was from the 60s, that some clubs took over the name of specific companies than of the trade unions, e.g. Dynamo Praha became SK Slavia Praha etc.
— MODERN TIMES —
TJ Maloměřická cementárna a vápenice Brno
Tatran Malomerice switched the name only in 1976, when the factory MCV took over from the Tělovýchovné jednoty Tatran Maloměřice to its even more fancy name, TJ Maloměřická cementárna a vápenice Brno (but call me MCV, we are friends after all!)
This name change is visible on the pic with the example of the B team below, ending the season in the division IV on the 9th place:
After a long time in the I. division of the city, the A team found itself back in the III. division in 1995.
In 2002, we managed to move up one league again, by winning the league. Most of the teams in this table are still the teams we play against. 2003 the team went down and immediately up again. Next years are inbetween the II. and III. division.
Also the new history, the restart happens this way, the season 2018/19, with a last place in the division II. of the Brno city and a restart in the III. division in 2019/2020 season. And the rest is, as they say, history!

In 1944 the sports ground was moved again, this time to land behind the railway, to todays location. That was of course not a grass pitch yet, in the tradition of the time and maybe also the later sponsor, the cement and lime factory, even though, to be precise, it was a pitch made out of cinder.

The beautiful chimney belonged to the Maloměřická cementárna a vápenice, a plant for, as the name says, cement and lime.
With the establishment of the plant in the beautiful neighborhood of Malomerice in 1949 came also a new logo and a new name. As many clubs in the former communist countries, clubs were tied to businesses.They brought the players, and hopefully some financial support and the club represented the business interests of the socialist model industry.
Not much is known about the early successes and the internet (not a big thing until the 90s, fair enough, is also silent about most of this period. Probably it means there werent many successes or the members of the club were very modest. Maybe you can find some trophies in the junk yard behind the pitch (and bring back the balls we lost there if you find any)
There are few trophies in our collection, most of them in a nice 70th or 80th chic:
