News for the Spring 2007 UKQL season

For those of you who visited last year, you'll notice everything is gone. It's all right, that's supposed to happen. I cleared the page for room for the United Kingdom Quidditch League spring season. Here's the news:
The Montrose Magpies have changed their name to the Meteors because according to team captain Marty Snikes, "we want to sound like something bloody faster! Magpies aren't fast! Now meteors, there's something that sounds fast enough for the best team in the ruddy league."
I am also pleased to announce that to round the number of teams up to an even sum, a new team, the Stratford Streaks has been allowed to join the league by the Department of Magical Games and Sports. Tryouts and intensive practice were held last year, and they are entering the actual matches this year. Says captian Newton Brash, "We're gonna do brilliant. But these first few years, I hope we make the Cannons feel nice, 'cuz they got a team that has less league wins 'n they do!" The new team is welcomed by the U.K, and we wish them luck in their first game versus the Wimbourne Wasps!
