Week 3, Crossbows at Bangers

Banchory Bangers Can’t Catch a Break, Cork Crossbows Create Colossal Catch

It was a heartbreaking match in Bachory this week, as it looked initially like the Bangers might gain their first win of the season, and in a home match at that.  It was a protracted match, and a closely scored one as it wore on.  The Bangers started off strong, quickly outpacing their Irish opponents in the first two and a half hours, but then Cork found their broomsticks, and began to push back the Banchory momentum.  Hour four saw the Bangers drop off completely, not able to attempt a single goal, while the Crossbows scored 10.  The morale seemed to drop off for the home team then, who came back into the game, but only halfheartedly, and their lead dried up.  The score was tied when Cedrik Elphik, the Crossbows’ Seeker caught the snitch barely ahead of Jean Jigger, leaving the Bangers with an 0-3 record. The Banchory fans were so dejected that only minor rioting was reported.

Final Score: Crossbows 790, Bangers 640.
