Week 3 scores

Let me begin by saying... the Metors-Falcons game was INCREDIBLE! It went the equivalent of 3 days, 7 hours, but the officials used a Time-Pincher to keep the match on schedule. The final score was... are you ready? 1,220-1,100. The Meteors won, but it was an incredibly close match, and a new foul has been added to the noble sport of warlocks. Attack upon the Seeker by transfiguring every last article of his clothing into vicious foxes. The entire game will be permanently stored on WSGN's wizsite videos. This game will go down in history, and a blow-by-blow account will be posted on the QuidditchFreaks wizsite.
Another stunning game was the Appleby Arrows-Ballycastle Bats game. The Bats made a narrow victory, 670-660. The Broomfleet Burst was put to incredible use by the Bats' Chasers, blocking the Arrow Seeker long enough that Larry Heites, Bats Seeker could secure the Snitch.
The Chudley Cannons secured their first win this season! The game was pretty unexciting, being the 12th best team vs. the 13th best. But the few Cannons out there are temporarily overjoyed for their team.
The Harpies and the Kestrels, longtime rivals had a vicious game, with a total of 92 Bludger hits, three of which forced players out of the game. The score was tied at 250 when the Harpies caught the Snitch, ending the game at 250-400. The Branson Broomswing was put into play by the Kestrels many times, and for a while it seemed the Harpies couldn't get their hands on the Quaffle. But when a nice Bicycle Kick was used by the Harpies, the game turned around, allowing them to catch up. 20 seconds after the score was tied, a mind-boggling Snitch chase began, in which the two Seekers broke through the fabric of the viewing towers, twisted around Bludgers 17 times, used the Quaffle to throw at each other to get the other Seeker off course. It ended with a 49-second free fall, kicking and throwing each other to try and get the Snitch. Throughout this, the game stopped completely as all the players and the referee followed the path of the Seekers. Another great game.
Pride of Portree got its first victory, and the Stratford Streaks got their first loss. Portree was determined to get off the bottom of the charts, and they played well. The Streaks played well also, but even grabbing the Snitch, which they did, could not get them a win, as Portree was 180 points ahead.
Puddlemere Utd. is continuing an exemplary season, defeating the Tushtill Tornadoes by an astonishing 470- 190. The game was played amazingly by Pudd. U., and played miserably by the Tornadoes. Nothing worth mentioning happened in the course of this game, except for that it continued both an all-win streak and an all-lose streak.
The Wigtown Wanderers faced off against the Wimbourne Wasps, in a match where both sides could have played better, but most certainly could have played worse. Keeper work was incredible, with the Wanderers saving 87% of the goals and the Wasps saving 81%. The final score was 220-160, the Wasps making a nice Snitch save which was both sudden and unexpected.
So the top teams in the league are the Meteors and Puddlemere United, with all of their games won, and the bottom team remains the Tornadoes, with the Cannons and Pride o/ Portree winning their match this week.
Until Week 4,
