Week 2 UKQL scores

The Week 2 matches have finished, and here are the results:
The Wimbourne Wasps defeated the Appleby Arrows in the longest match this week, lasting 2 hours and 48 minutes. At 260-130, it was a spectacular, close-scored match with excellent use of the Corkscrew, Starfish and Stick, and the Hawkshead Formation.
The Ballycastle Bats won against the Tushtill Tornadoes 240- 50. The Tornadoes played a rather weak game compared to their wonderful seasons since 1995. Rupert Strack, Tornadoes Seeker won't be playing for about 2 weeks due to a Bludger in the head.
Guess who caught the Snitch at the Cannons-Meteors game?... The Cannons! Unfortunately, they still lost because the Meteors were 560 points ahead of them. Also, the only reason the Cannons caught the Snitch was because David Plumus, Cannons Seeker was knocked off his broom by a Bludger, fell wildly through the air grasping wildly, and by pure random chance grabbed the Snitch.
The Kenmare Kestrels defeated the Falmouth Falcons, but it was another close game as in the Falcon-Harpies game last week. The final score was 230-200, and the game was a nail-biter, especially for Kestrels fans.
The Holyhead Harpies came back after their defeat last week, beating Pride of Portree 350-270. The Pride used the Stucker-Punch to great effect, punching the Quaffle out from under Harpies Chaser Glynnis Griffiths arm to another teammate and scoring a spectacular goal with the Brankovitch Broomspinner Score.
The Stratford Streaks are still winning, defeating the Wigtown Wanderers (my favorite team...) 300-160 in a match which I am proud to say the Wanderers played splendidly in.
So the top teams in the league are the Meteors, Puddlemere United, and the Streaks, with two wins each. And the bottom teams are Pride of Portree, the Cannons (no surprise there) and the Tornadoes, with no wins. The rest of the teams have one win and one loss.

Until next week,
