By “Pitch Malbum”Minister of Magic Rudiger Shingleton enjoyed performing one of the most coveted duties of his position this week by opening the British and Irish League play for the 2001 season this past Monday. In announcing the opening at Exmoor Pitch, Minister Shingleton honoured the 2000 League Champions, the Montrose Magpies, continuing a long and illustrious tradition for both the League and the Minister of Magic. Unfortunately, the honour was not a lucky one for the Magpies who lost all three of their opening week games to the Pride of Portree in one of the week’s THREE Clean Sweeps! The Pride were formidable in their defense, with keeper Meaghan McCormack coming into her own. Loyal fans of the Pride will remember that Miss McCormack’s mother, Catrionia McCormack was the most famous Chaser for the Pride and team Captain in the 1960’s.

The Winged Wands have captured the first ever Dumbledore Placque to be awarded at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the final Quidditch game of the Hogwarts Season the Snitch Snatchers overcame the Fearless Fliers to move into third place overall amoung the new teams. Nothing could unseat the Winged Wands for the Placque this year as they scored over 300 points higher than their nearest competitor, the Fearless Fliers, to cinch the Placque. The inaugural award was instituted to honour the former beloved Headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, by the current Headmistress Minerva McGonagall as part of her expansion and re-organisation of the Quidditch Programme at Hogwarts.
