The Radcliffe Chimeras, London Unbreakables and Bangor Broken Broomsticks secured berths at the British Quidditch Cup after medalling at Development Cup, held at Salford Sports Village on 7/8 March.

Oxford Universities Quidditch Club, captained by Vicky Morris, took home  the gold after an unbroken winning streak across the weekend. In the  final they faced the London Unbreakables, also an undefeated team in the  group and bracket stages. Unbreakables, led by Peter Glenister, played a  confident game and pulled 30 points ahead with snitch on pitch. David  Banas caught a clean catch, which was disallowed due to illegal gender  composition. OUQC took their opportunity to get back into the game,  pulling back several goals before a catch from William Whitehouse  secured their victory for a final scoreline of 130*-70. In an all-Wales  derby, a well-drilled Bangor Broken Broomsticks defeated Swansea  Scorpions in overtime to take bronze. Swansea’s Caroline Norrish  clinched a catch from three goals behind to force overtime, and Chloe  Durkin’s side pushed the advantage on quaffle to gain a bronze medal for  the tournament.
