Football Club - Krivan

They played in Turcan’s valley behind town. Selenca’s boys, carried on wings of their fellow townsmen, weren’t embarrassed. Score was 1:1.

It disappeared and the game couldn’t start before they found it.

Table tenis

Right after the clubs were formed first official match was played, in September of year 1968. Selenča’s rival was TTC “Partizan” from Ratkovo. Result of the match wasn’t pleasant for people from Selenča. They lost 5:3, and it was expected.

It is impossible to have two identical matches and that was exact impulse which tempted activists.

People of Selenca took the hunting oath for the first time in year 1901, when Hunter’s Society was established. It was official establishing of society and its founders and first members were Jan Javornik, Tomas Medved, Michal Medved, Jan Varga, Jan Ober, Karol Stukavsky, Tomas Krajcik, and Karol Hyl. Facts about, where the first members were employed and what was their calling, we do not have, but they surely had something in common, one thread that bound them together, and that was a love for nature and passion for hunting.
