I'm going to be working on something that'll get me into the air again. Probably won't hit the testing stage for a few days, at least, but I'll let you know when I am ready for testing it so you patch me up if I fall off.

Out of sheer curiosity, o readers, what are some of your favourite match-day snacks or foods? I know post-wins often tend to focus on beverages, but what about the foods?

[Prides Players & Coach]

I hope you lot are prepared for anything Coach'll be throwing our way come Sunday. I'll be with you, and I'll definitely be with you on the pitch in our next match. This time we'll be sure to do everything to keep injuries on their side, not ours. So work on ducking and dodging and weaving, all of you.

Did anyone else hear that result from Quiberon this morning? Game went fifteen hours. The Graphorns were up on the Punchers by 150 as the Sun set. Peltier sees the snitch and dives for it, but Saucet, who plays with her on the National team, sees her dive and drops down to interfere. She cuts it too close and the ref blows the whistle, but Peltier catches the snitch for the Punchers at the same time.

The refs confer. Either the foul happened before the snitch was caught, in which case the play was dead and the snitch wasn't actually caught, or the foul happened after the snitch, the game was over, and we can all go home with a tie. Right?

The refs found a third option. Since the whistle hadn't finished blowing when the snitch was caught, the foul and the catch happened simultaneously. They awarded the snitch to the Punchers, and they also awarded a penalty shot. The Graphorns Gardien fell for a Finbourgh Flick (I think he was rattled by the whole thing), and the stats-wizards are saying we have the first Quidditch game in history ever decided after the snitch was caught.

400-410, Congratulations, Quiberon Quafflepunchers

The Graphorns are appealing.
