Walloping Wolverhampton Werewolves Win, Barcelona Inquisitors’ Intervention Ineffective

In the high-scoring game of the week, the Werewolves battled it out on their home turf and came away with a “W” for Wolverhampton, despite an early 4th hour snitch catch by the Inquisitors’ Seeker, Borja Cruells.  The first hour was marked by a strong scoring drive from Werewolf Stuart McKerras, who himself outpaced all three of the Inquisitors’ Chasers.  In hour two, Leodogari Aguiar answered with his own 6 goals for the Inquisitors, evening the pitch somewhat, but William Knight and Olen Arbutus also made 5 and 6 goals, meaning the Werewolves maintained a strong lead.  Hour three is where it all came together for the Werewolves, with Beaters Delbert Jackbuck and Haskell Suchet keeping the Inquisitors’ Chasers back on their heels, combined with Lynx Griffis’ goalkeeping mean the Inquisitors only gained 4 more goals during the whole hour.  This allowed Knight, Arbutus, and McKerras to widen the gap even further with 14 goals, so that when, at 3 hours and 12 minutes, Cruells caught the snitch for the Inquisitors, the gap was too much for the 150 point play to secure the win.  Asked after the game about the catch, Cruells said, “We train to catch the snitch.  If I see the snitch, I catch it.  Though we lose, we still gain points for the championship.”  Needless to say, Wolverhampton is pleased to take the top spot in the standings.

Final Score: Werewolves 510, Inquisitors 400.
