I don't know how I missed it but the European Quidditch Championships were held at the weekend in Limerick, Ireland. The exciting news is that Australia won the Bronze Medal. I need to follow this team more closely, mainly because they have chosen to be called The Dropbears. Fabulous! The mixed gender team of 3 males and 3 females beat Norway to steal the match.
I saw a clip of the match on the TV news and was intrigued that each participant played with a broomstick between his/her legs. It's based, of course, on the game described in the Harry Potter books but it's disappointing that it can't be played up in the air like the real thing.
