That first win felt exceptionally great after a rough start to the season. I wish the entire team could have enjoyed it.

[Cav]
Thanks for helping me play catch-up this week after I returned to practice. I think the extra work helped.

[Heidi]
So everyone's talking about Witch Weekly turning on you. What happened?

Perhaps I am too new to this organization to understand proper procedure, but I do know that an indiscriminate search of private property is an invasion of privacy. It is true, there are players who have been caught with illegal substances, and I have made it clear to my players that any further use will not be tolerated. In any other organization, this would not be acceptable or appropriate. Why should it be allowed here?

[Kestrels]

If they insist on searching your lockers, I will have everyone put their bags in my office until further notice. I will not have the BIL invading your privacy in this manner.

Kestrels

I will be present any time the BIL comes to do a search. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Congrats are in order, I think, for Falmouth. Or did we all forget there was a match that happened what with all the other utter rubbish going on? I'll never understand why anyone's so interested in who is shagging who. Are we still in school? Honestly. The real story in that rag was the most charming smile! Though, I dunno that I agree with 'em...

Anyone have any suggestions for how to distract a six year old from a topic she's really interested? Please. Help.

Kenmare versus Wigtown this weekend should be quite the matchup.

Bloody hell.

I can tell you one thing we're not going to be discussing on tonight's Gamecore. Instead, we're going to be discussing today's match between the Falcons and the Cannons, and debating whether or not the Cannons we saw last time can repeat, because that was definitely not the same team we watched play today.

Congratulations are due to the Falcons for their win today.

[Patrick]

I imagine that you probably do not wish to speak with anyone right now, but if you need anything at all, do not hesitate to ask. That is what I'm here for.

[Marlene]

When you get a chance, drop by my office?


[Magpies]

Avoid the press, as Marlene said. If any of you have any questions or concerns that you need addressed, feel free to bring them to me at any time. In the meantime, I hope that you will support each other as needed.

A reminder that this is an off week for the Ballycastle Bats but I do urge our fans to see the game over the weekend, including the Kenmare Kestrals where our old Reseve play Robbie Marr is a featured player.

[Ward to the Bats]
At this time, I am going to ask you very pointedly to not speak to the press unless it is about our next match. I also think that running or apparating is acceptable.

[Heidi]
Thank you for the warning.

Only in Quidditch can a bloody broom take up twenty-six minutes worth of questions. Which I suppose is still better than having to explain a loss to the Cannons would have been. Maybe. I'm not entirely sure.

No sleep until a win, that's what I say.

Kestrels Organization

I won't have another loss this week, understood? Now, let's figure out how to get there.

Who needs to work on what? I've got my list but I want to hear from all of you.

Well, I'm not typically one to brag, but the Harpies were out in full force today. As were the Kestrels. Good showing. It might have been a bit brutal, but that's what makes it exciting.

There's nothing like the start of a new Quidditch season.

Kenmare

I expect a win tomorrow, understood? We need to make sure it's clear this scandal is behind us and we're the same team we've worked to be. Any questions?

Sometimes I regret this career because it means saying no to Chinese takeaway sometimes.

[Private: Darcy, J]

Ladies, I believe it's time for a bonding sesh before Monday. We've got a new face to bring into the fold, which means ladies night. What are we up for?

What sort of team motto is "Let's all just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best" anyway?

Witch Weekly is aware that when I smile my whole face becomes teeth, right?

So, I hope that no one was seriously injured in the unfortunate bludger incident yesterday. Bloody hell... Pretty sure that place wasn't meant to host so many people.

I'm really, truly sorry about that.

It feels bloody brilliant to be home. Five years is a long time and while I'll miss Poland, there's something to be said for actually understanding the contract that you're signing.

Cat's happy to be home as well. I can tell he's missed this place.

Ay! ¡Que increible! If you did not see the news, mi hermano, Raf, will be playing this season for the Chudley Cannons. Go light on him, por favor. He does not know any better yet. But perhaps this means that the Cannons will have a better season, sí? Who then will be at the bottom of the league?
