Montrose Magpies Mobilize to Oust Appleby Arrows
Despite a strong showing from the Appleby Chasers and Beaters, Montrose came away with the victory today, with a fortuitous capture of the Snitch by the Scottish Seeker Katie Bagnold at 2 hours and 10 minutes. The chase was certainly as entertaining as the Quaffle action above the pitch, as Bertha Keddle gave Katie quite a good run for her money. The two spotted the snitch almost exactly at the same time, but from opposite ends of the pitch, leading to a dangerous Hiddleston’s Pickle, both Seekers flying as fast as they can at a snitch between them. Fortunately the snitch itself veered up before disaster, and led the two on a merry chase for nearly 40 minutes, during which time the Arrows racked up goal after goal. But it was the Magpies from Montrose who caught it in the end, leaving the Arrows with a 1-2 record and their first divisional game loss.
