It was a clash of the Welsh titans as the Holyhead Harpies, the world's only all-witch team, clashed with the Caerphilly Catapults arguably Wales' greatest team in a two day long match. In the sixty-seventh minute of the second day,the Catapults' Seeker Morgan Davies appeared to have seen the Snitch but Harpy Chaser Ausie Baudelaire threw the Quaffle at him in a last-ditch bid to stop the rapidly diving Seeker. This meant a hault of the game as referee Sian Harbon attempted to discover whether or not this was in fact a foul. Although nothing was in fact written in the rulebook about such a move, a penalty was awardeds to loud boos from the crowd. This necessitated an extremely swift Double Eight Loop from the Harpy Keeper to block the shot from the Catapults' Chaser, flinging the Quaffle straight back out to one of the Harpies Chasers who immediately wheeled around in a 180 degree angle and scored for the all-girl team as the helpless Catapults gaped. The tempestuous match was finally brought to an end by Harpies' Seeker Majelicka Weasley in a spectacular catch, diving straight towards the ground in a thrilling race with the other teams's seeker. Amid wild applause from the crowd, Maj was swarmed over and hugged by the entire team, with all three Chasers shooting green and gold fireworks from their wands as the entire team remounted their brooms for a victory roll over the heads of the ecstatic (well, half ecstatic) crowd. Manager Delilah Malfoy was a prominent feature in the crowd, seeming particularly impressed at the celebration aerial gymnastics from the three Chasers as they looped the loop, dived and soared in a spectacular display of aerial antics.
Well done Harpies!
