We are the Werewolves of London, and we’re not just your ordinary community quidditch team in London. Since the club’s creation in 2015, we’ve established two successful competitive teams with a heap of talented athletes and gone on to finish on the podium at many QuidditchUK official events.

Full scores for both events are available on Quidditch Scheduler, here for BQC and here for Dev Cup. We've also included the full team rankings from both events below.

The Scores Are In!

QuidditchUK are very grateful to have been supported by Utility Apparel, MCM, Epione, and Cameraworks in making BQC such a success.  Our events would also not have been possible without the amazing work of our officials and volunteers who stepped up to help in the run-up to and throughout the weekend.

QuidditchUK are both excited and proud to announce that Alice Walker has been selected to take on the role as the Head Coach for Team England.

Alice is an athlete and a leader who needs very little introduction, bringing a wealth of international experience and an accolade of sporting achievements across regional, national, and global competition. Alice has been a key member of the Team UK training squad since 2015 - notably competing in the 2016 IQA World Cup in Frankfurt alongside her role on as a leader both on and off pitch to her fellow athletes within the training squad. Not to mention her tenure as a player, coach, and captain as an integral core member of both Radcliffe Chimeras and Werewolves of London.

Alice will be taking the rein over the very best of our English athletes, as she works towards creating a formidable national side,  and further develops the highest levels of talent in our game. Working alongside the Team England Manager, Bex Lowe, Alice will be recruiting coaching staff to build her team, identifying and recruiting our top players from all across England. This will be assisted by the newly rebooted scouting programme, headed up by Luke Twist as Head Scout who in turn will also be working with Team Wales and Team Scotland to discover and identify who may next be playing for their country.

As Alice steps up into her challenge new role, she has this to say:

Having watched Team UK in Italy, Sarteano in 2015, all the way through being a player on the squad for the last 5 years, the national team has been close to my heart and is something I’m incredibly passionate about. I hope to take my passion for the squad and combine it with my successful coaching experience at both Oxford University Quidditch Club and Werewolves of London to help shape and guide Team England.

I want to coach a squad that is not only successful, but something amazing to be a part of and an integral part of quidditch in the UK.

We wish to offer our congratulations and best of luck to Alice as she takes on this role, we’re incredibly excited for the changes and opportunities you bring and we know you’ll lead Team England into the very next chapter of international quidditch.

Alice Walker Named As Team England Head Coach

Last weekend saw the sixth edition of the Southern Cup, hosted at  Brookes Sport in Harcourt Hill, Oxford Brookes University between the  9th and 10th of November. 

16 teams competed at this year’s  Southern regional tournament, with nearly half of those teams being made  up of London community teams (7/16 to be precise). Group A-D featured  at least one London team  (Group C featuring three!) so it’s not  surprising when we saw an all London podium at the end of Sunday’s  games. 

In an intense final, the Werewolves of London Firsts  reclaimed their gold medals kicking off the season in style against the  London Unspeakables which ended in overtime, compiling a final score of  160°-120*. The match between London’s oldest club and EQC 2019’s bronze  medalists was regarded as “one of the most exciting finals in UK  Quidditch in years”. Some even comparing it to the likes of the BQC 2015  final in Nottingham against Southampton Quidditch Club and the  Radcliffe Chimeras which ended in overtime as well. 

The Unspeakables had beaten previous national champions London Quidditch  Club A in a tight semi-final beforehand, who then progressed to the  third-place playoff, facing the Oxford Mammoths to eventually claim a  3rd place finish for LQCA. 

For winning Southern this year, the  Werewolves have been given a pass in competing at the European Qualifier  Tournament as regional winners are awarded a top seed spot at Division 1  of the European Quidditch Cup hosted in Belgium in May 2020. Other  teams to qualify for EQT aside from the podium finishers include Oxford  Mammoths (4th), Southampton Quidditch Club (5th), Southsea Quidditch (6th) and London Quidditch Club B (7th).

QuidditchUK  would like to ultimately thank its large influx of volunteers for this  year’s Southern Cup, from non-qualified tournament roles alike to  tournament committee posts running gameplay, media, event and management  duties. Special thanks go to Alex Greenhalgh, the Tournament Director,  who ran a smooth and exciting tournament that gave our athletes more  games for their money despite poor weather conditions on Day 1. 

Congratulations  go to the Werewolves of London Firsts for retaining their title of  southern champions for two seasons in a row. We’d like to extend our  praise to all our players and teams who competed this year making this  Southern Cup one to remember. More importantly, a massive consideration  goes out to all volunteers who ran a fantastic tournament giving their  time, resources and talent across the event.
