Game 1 of week two was a real scorcher, at more than 7 hours long and with massive scores. The two teams stayed fairly even through the match, with minimal action from the beaters, and a loose performance from both seekers. Hour 1 opened with a furious barrage of goals and attempts, with 9 scored by the Jabberwocks and 10 from the Nifflers. Hour two the action got hotter, with 15 goals for the Jabberwocks, most of those provided by Forrest George. But the NIfflers answered with their own 13 goals, Opal Doolan doing her best to keep the Nifflers in the game. From there the scoring slowed down as both teams grew tired from the drawn out match. Hours 4 and 5 saw only token scores from both teams, but in hour 6 the Nifflers had rested enough to pull back into the lead with 6 more goals, answered only by 1 from Naomi Mathis for team Jabberwocky. Hour 7 continued the trend, with Abel Blakely seeming to suddenly wake up and score 6 goals for the Nifflers, aided by 1 and 2 from Doolan and Mathew Robins, respectively. The Jabberwocky was barely behind when Kyle Bitterwood, the Nifflers’ Seeker finally spotted the Snitch and gave chase. But Adoph Duke was right there, and there was a lengthy 22 minute chase, giving the Jabberwocks enough time to score two more goals before Duke boxed out Bitterwood and caught the snitch for the Jabberwocky, securing a victory at 7 hours and 18 minutes.
Final Score: Jabberwocky 790, Nifflers 620.
