And the playoffs are here!
What a night to be a quidditch fan! The first day of playoffs soared into the record books. First came the Caerphilly Catapults versus the Montrose Magpies, where the Catapults took it in a strikingly amazing score of 170 to 10, the closest first round score in recorded quidditch history. The Catapults came a snitch away from the League Cup last year, and were clearly seeking to avenge their loss. The Magpies have been struggling with a highly publicized feud between Captain Seth Wadcock and star seeker Odette MacFarlan, and whether or not the low scoring game was because the starlet was benched, or Wadcock captained brilliantly, we'll never know. But, whatever the case, Griff Kirkham's squad came out victorious, sending the blindingly neon green crowd into mass hysterics.
And in what was the match everyone was waiting for, the Puddlemere United barely scraped by the Pride of Portree, scoring an uncharacteristically low score of 190 to 50. The Pride were showing absolutely no mercy, but in the end Captain Finn McLaggen came through with a spectacular catch that resulted in a brutal crash with the Pride's seeker, Fabian Prewett. Both were sent to St. Mungo's, but are reportedly in good (but bruised) spirits. With McLaggen bruised and battered (his body along with his ego), is this signs of the end of the United's run at the top? A good thing can't last forever!
And there you have it! Tune in tomorrow for the second set of matches, when the Wasps take on the Harpies and the raging Tornadoes face the fearsome Falcons. This is Matt Ackerley, bringing you everything you need to know about the wizarding world's favorite past time.
