Week 1 UKQL scores

The Meteor-Bats game is finally over! After a 5 day, 17 hour, 28 minute match, the Montrose Meteors won by a mere 40 points when Agell Adams, the Meteors Seeker pulled the Snitch from under Bats Seeker Roland Spidell, dodging both Bludgers. The Meteors are living up to their promise to "sound like something... faster!" Here are the other results from the first matches in this seson of the United Kingdom Quidditch League:
Puddlemere United beat Pride of Portree 280-120. It was a close game, and it would have been a tie if the Seeker had gotten the Snitch 2 seconds later, because Portree Chaser Eric Scroe made a wonderful shot right after the Snitch was caught.
Appleby Arrows beat the Chudley Cannons 390-10. Big surprise.
The Caerphilly Catapults defeated the Kenmare Kestrels 280-210 with excellent plays on both sides, the highlight of the match being Roland Mathews, Chaser for the Kestrels, Woolongong Shimmy-ing down the field, knocking two opposing Chasers off their brooms, using the Porksoff Ploy to fool the remaining Chaser, passing to Terrence Adams, who then did a Finborough Flick straight through the Catapults' Keeper's arms. However, after many scores, the Catapults Seeker grabbed the Snitch.
Well, the newest team, the Stratford Streaks are off to a great start! They defeated the Wimbourne Wasps 370-210. It was a close game throughout the entire match, from the first score to the last second.Wasp Seeker Thurgood Grabe was inches from catching the Snitch when Streak Beater Hunter Kamms took him out with a Bludger to the head, clearing the way for a Streak victory. We look forward to the next match of the newest U.K. team.
The season was also started in an interesting fashion by pitting the only male Falmouth Falcons against the all female Holyhead Harpies. The Falcons won, but the score was tied at only 40 with incredible Keeper and Chaser work on both sides before Landon Davis caught the Snitch.
And to wrap things up, the Wigtown Wanderers defeated the Tushtill Tornadoes 250-140, a great start for the team and Wanderer fans such as myself.
I'll have the game lineup for you next week, so check on Friday or Saturday, depending on when the matches are scheduled.
Yours forever (at least when there's no game on the WWN)
