The Golden Neep IC

[Montrose + ]

Last one before a well deserved break team! Let's finish the first half strong.

Catapults Notes

Well the catapults. They have a deceptively good record, 4-2-0.

But frankly they've faced the bottom half of the league, a version of Puddlemere and Falmouth that was an absolute mess, and have squeaked through a lot of these matches on a ballsy seeker. But they have been willing to foul if they need, so expect it.

Chasers - I have...nothing particularly positive so say about the Catapults chasers. They've only had 2 matches of respectable scoring and one was because it was 4h long and the other team was down a chaser. They are improving from their first matches so I suppose that's one positive thing. Maybe they'll give us more of a fight.

Beaters - Not...great Could be better. The team as a whole takes more injuries than it gives but they have managed to knock a some players of their brooms so there is ability there, it just needs to come out more.

Keeper - Sloo is a very respectable keeper, has really held things down for the catapults most of this season...but she hasn't been through any high shooting matches thus far. Bombard her and see what happens.

Seeker - An example of a daring seeker bringing up a mediocre team higher than it should go. She's young and willing to make the risky catches. Twice this season she's jumped off her broom in a dive for the snitch..and caught it. Expect the unexpected from her.

vs. Catapults Roster

Chasers, I don't know right now classic starting lineup. Make Sloo really work for her saves.

Georgi, you're up with Lex. I don't expect perfect coordination, you've only been here a short time. But let's test things out in a real match and see what we can work on, get you used to the style of quid here. And Lex? Knock Sloo off and you get your beater day.

Micah and Lennox, you know your jobs. This seeker might give you a bit of fun, Lennox.

Reserves, don't worry. In our 5 matches so far we've been largely dealing with the top half of the league standings. There will be more opportunity for you all in the next leg of this season. I promise.

Tell me all the paperwork and details are in order to get Georgi up in the air. Robes with his name, press releases, physicals, whatever else. It would be awful to have to wait a whole break.

[Lorna]

You alright? The littles have been asking too you know.

Who: Lex Yaxley & MG McGonagall
What: Peptalk for a beater
When: 4 December, after practice
Where: Montrose practice pitch
Warnings: none?

( You're doing well, Lex. You know that right? )

I've been thinking of starting up something like a primary school / day care for those of us with children under 11 and who work. Though I'm lucky that I can bring my children to work with me, I know not everyone is that fortunate.

Would there be any interest?

According to a recent owl from my opa, Grandmum had a few choice words about the Harpies last match. Though understandable what with her being a former Harpy and all. Also it really wasn't a great match... well, certainly not compared to the Portree vs Wimbourne match. And certainly had me trying to be creative and write up a worthwhile report on it.

[FRIENDS WARD*]

I think I may need to do some much needed socialising guys. You know you've spent too much time cooped up inside when being not the most organised of people that you decide it'd be fun to completely reorganise your closet.


Though I did a pretty good job of it I think.

*ooc: if in doubt as to whether you qualify for the ward feel free to nudge me to find out :)
