There's a definite chill in the air today as the second game of the school year takes off! The clammy cold might make it a little bit more tricky to hold on to those broomsticks kids, so cling tight! The Slytherin team mean business today! As soon as that whistle goes they take full command of the pitch, with Blaise Zabini on the quaffle, darting through the Ravenclaw defense! It's a close save from Stephen Cornfoot, but the Ravenclaw team aren't given much of a chance to rest. But the first goal of the game goes to Ravenclaw on their third attempt at the hoops! Nicely played Jamie Chambers! Draco Malfoy takes a nasty bludger to the shoulder! That's slowed him down but he looks determined to stay on that broom! No sign of the snitch anywhere! Looks like Slytherin Beater Gregory Goyle is going for a revenge play on Michael Corner! A Bludger straight to the small of his back! Oooh, that's going to leave a bruise! Now it's personal! Slytherin turn the game around with three goals against Ravenclaw. Looks like the Ravenclaw keeper just doesn't have his head in the game! Ophelia Rushden with the Quaffle! Rolling dodge on that Bludger and it's a goal! Ravenclaw beaters have their payback on Slytherin Beater Gregory Goyle with a bludger straight to the bristles! It looks like its snapped his broom! He's going down! Oooh, that was a nasty fall. But it looks like he'll be ok. After thirty minutes of play Ravenclaw have managed to climb back up the scoreboard with 140 points but Slytherin are in close second with 130 on top of missing a Beater! It's a close match. Both captains appear to be driving their team as hard as they can! But as we know, when it comes to Quidditch, sometimes it's only the last few minutes of the game that can determine the whole thing! |
