Balls up and players off!
Here we go folks! Cox is quick to swipe the quaffle and take off toward Capello. She’s definitely improved in her broom work this year. But she’s got trouble with Park Puff Number 2 on her heels. Spiteri and Williams are trying to get to her for support but it looks like Park Puff Number 1 has distracted them with a well-aimed bludger! Cox is on her own as Carson joins Park 2 to pester her!
Oh man, Cox is in trouble and…
Oh!
Harris steals the quaffle right from under her! Hufflepuff has possession and Harris is beelining for Darling! Park 2 and Carson have switched gears and are right behind him! And look at that shuffle!
Wow! I can’t even see who has the quaffle!
But they’re right at the rings!
Darling is lost!
AND CARSON SCORES!
Ten points to Hufflepuff!

That was some fancy work by the Hufflepuff chasers but now that Gryffindor has the ball back, they look ready to remind the badgers who exactly they're dealing with!
Williams has the quaffle tucked and secured and he's dodging every bludger that the Badger Beaters send at him! He's definitely on a mission and he's closing in on Capello!
Williams lines up for the shot...but Carson and Park 2 are there! He doesn't have a clear shot! He kicks the quaffle to Spiteri who volleys to Cox! There's that Gryffindor team work I've heard so much about! They've dove in to this weird sort of static shuffle right in front of the goals! The Badger's can't find the quaffle! The beaters don't know where to aim the bludgers!
Capello hovers to the right hoop! Cox must have the ball!
No!
Williams send the quaffle right through the left hoop!
This is gonna be one hell of a game!
Ten points to Gryffindor!

Gryffindor and Hufflepuff both came to win today!
Park Puff Number 2 has the quaffle and he's trailing behind Carson and Harris as they seem to protect him across the field! You can't miss that bright red hair and why would you want to?! He's so graceful on that broom! They're nearing the goals now and his chaser partners appear to have pealed away to give him a clear shot!
He winds up and he's gonna go for the score!
crack
Oh no!
Gooby got him with a bludger!
Bo Park is down, folks! Quinn is there to check on him but he seems to be okay! He's waving her off and he's back in the air! But Spiteri has the quaffle and she's headed back toward Capello!
Carson and Harris are hot on her heals and look ready to avenge their team mate! Park Puff Number One smacks a bludger her way but Knight is there to block it! Spiteri moves to feed the quaffle to Williams and HARRIS INTERCEPTS!
Hufflepuff has the quaffle again!
They're off!
They're at the goals! Harris takes the shot but Darling swats it away!
OH! PARK PUFF NUMBER 2 IS BACK AND HE GETS THE REBOUND!
One swift move and he's sent the ball right through the center hoop!
Talk about redemption!
Ten to Hufflepuff!

We're neck and neck here folks!
Gryffindor has the quaffle again and Williams is weaving his way through the field. Hufflepuff sends a bludger his way and he's forced to toss the ball off to Cox! She's got that look in her eyes! She's got a point to prove!
Park 2 makes a grab for the quaffle but she's too quick! A roll to the left and she's out of his reach! Knight knocks a bludger her way and she tosses the quaffle off to Spiteri! I don't know what drills Darling had been running them through but these Gryffindor chasers all seem to be on the same wave length!
Man! Spiteri is a wizard on that broom! No pun intended!
She seems untouchable out there! She's closing in on that center ring and she's locked in on Capello! It's like a high stakes game of chicken! Who's going to break?!
Spiteri winds up!
She takes the shot!
NO! No that wasn't a shot! She passes to Cox and Capello can't get there in time!
Cox scores!
Ten more for Gryffindor!

This field is absolutely on fire and the crowd is feeling the heat! Everyone is feeling the hype!
Bo Park has the quaffle now and he's making his way down field with Carson on his flank. Park took a nasty spill not too long ago and you can see the apprehension in his movements. But Carson and Harris have his back as they work their way toward the Gryffindor goals.
Knight sends another bludger Park's way...But his brother is there on the defense! Nico swats it back and you can hear him cheering his brother on from here!
They're making their way to the goals and Darling seems laser focused on that quaffle.
Park tosses to Harris...Harris fakes left and tosses to Carson...
But a rogue bludger seems to have knocked the quaffle off track! It's loose!
Cox has scooped it up and she has a sea of yellow to navigate! But look at that smile! She's really in her element out there! Passing off to Williams, Cox whips up in front of Capello! He's distracted!
Williams feeds the quaffle to Spiteri and she scores an easy ten for Gryffindor!

Hufflepuff has possession again and Carson seems to be trying to talk Park Puff Number 2 out of his head. That bludger moment seemed to mess him up a bit!
Can't say I blame him though...we've seen quite a few players take nasty spills out here!
But as they make their way down the pitch, it looks like Bo is trying to push past it. Spiteri and Cox saddle up alongside Carson...it looks like they're pulling out Parkin's Pincer! Carson is stuck!
crack
Oh! Looks Like Park Puff Number 1 has some moves too! He backhands a bludger their way FORCING the group to scatter! Carson is free and tosses the quaffle off to Harris.
Harris to Park!
Park back to Harris!
Harris to Carson!
CARSON TO THE GOALS!
Ten to Hufflepuff!

If there's one thing a badger can attest to, it's their ferocity!
Spiteri has the quaffle but she's swarmed by yellow! Park, Carson, and Harris are all there! She can't even seem to get the quaffle off and away from the swarm! This intense defensive press is impressive! See what I did there?
Cox and Williams are trying their best to provide support but it's no use! Park whips back and manages to knock the quaffle loose!
Carson scoops it up and lobs it back to Harris!
Harris and Park take off down the field and in the confusion, none of the Gryffindors seem to be chasing! It's an open field!
Gubler cracks a bludger their way but the other Park is quick to deflect!
Darling has no assistance against the Badger males!
A few tosses back and forth before...
Harris scores!
Ten for Hufflepuff!

Gryffindor seems to be scrambling now!
Has Hufflepuff gotten into their heads?
Cox has the quaffle and she's trying her best but she seems to be confused. Can't say I blame her! Hufflepuff really applied the heat! The best thing she could do right now is feed the quaffle off to one of her veteran chaser team mates. And it looks like she's trying!
But Bo is there again! Followed by Carson! They aren't leaving any room for breathing! Gryffindor is stuck again!
But Cox manages to get the quaffle off to Williams! Williams has a split second to line for the shot...
But Capello blocks it! Snatching the ball up, he feeds it to Harris and Hufflepuff has possession again!
Harris seems to be showing us a rather shocking demonstration of the Blitzen Ballet! When did he learn that?! Darling seems to have the same question as he follows along. Harris is right there in front of him! Darling swipes for the quaffle and...
Harris drops it! Right into Park's arms!
Park winds up and shoots right through the left ring!
Hufflepuff secures another ten!

Hufflepuff has fallen into a rhythm and that can spell trouble if Gryffindor isn't careful!
Darling tosses the quaffle out to Spiteri who looks to get Williams and Cox in line for a play. What do they have up their sleeve? I almost wonder if it matters? Carson and Harris are already there!
Spiteri takes off! Cox is following a few lengths behind. They're just trying to get some distance between them and the absolutely brutal defensive strategy that Hufflepuff has pulled out for the match!
Spiteri barrels toward Capello! You can see the frustration on her face. She just needs an opening and it looks like she has it!
But oh!
Capello comes out of nowhere to block the shot! Gryffindor can't catch a break!
Carson snags the quaffle and takes off down the pitch. Williams is there to try and deflect but a bludger sent by the older Park Puff knocks him off course! He seems to keep a grip on his broom but he won't be catching up to Carson any time soon!
Carson lines up with Darling and it doesn't look like he's going to make this easy!
But Carson has a plan!
Another shuffle! Hufflepuff really has perfected this move! The HuffleBeaters are there protecting them and the more they move, the dizzier I get!
But a shot is made!
And it's good!
Who made that goal?
Oh! It was Carson for another ten!

You can hear Gus Darling from here folks!
The Gryffindor teamwork hasn't fallen apart...but it is under pressure as Carson and her team continue their press. Spiteri shouts something out to her teammates and they seem to have fallen into the Hawkshead Attacking Formation. That's a daunting formation to have coming at you and it might be just the answer these lion's need to counter the heavy press of the badgers.
Spiteri yanks up and it looks like Bo and Harris have both followed her. Do they have time to reapply that dreaded pressure? They catch up with Spiteri...but they left Cox wide open!
Spiteri drops the quaffle! Cox snatches it up and drives it right through the post!
Gryffindor breaks the Hufflepuff scoring streak and claims ten more points to their total!

Hufflepuff has the quaffle and Gryffindor seems to have a new fire lit in their guts!
These lions are done being pushed around out here. But by the look of it...It may not even matter!
Donaghue has taken off like a rocket and the Lady Darling is on her heels! Just out in front of them you can see a soft flashing of gold! That's it! They see the snitch! The game is still going on above them but I think I speak for everyone when I say our attention is fixed on these two seekers flying along the lower area of the pitch!
The snitch zips upward and neither of them miss a beat! They're neck and neck! Darling edges ahead and her arm is outstretched!
But Park sends a bludger her way! It hits! Darling is knocked off course and into the wall!
Donaghue is still chasing the snitch and it looks like Hufflepuff might take this one all the way home! She reaches out! It's right there!
BUT DARLING ZIPS UP OUT OF NOWHERE!
Snatching the snitch right out of Donaghue's reach!
What an insane catch!
Quinn is blowing her whistle and that is today's match!
We love an underdog story and what a better end to it!
Congratulations Gryffindor and amazing game Hufflepuff!
