Appleby Arrows


APPLEBY ARROWS
Founded: 1612                                   League Cups: 27                          Last League Cup: 2009
 2011: 8th (Eliminated in Finals Week 1)

The Arrows' squad remains one of the most impressive, and THE most experienced in the league. Led by the legendary Violetta Fladbury, who is entering her 23rd season of professional Quidditch, the Arrows can always be considered genuine championship hopes. It is because of this expectation that 2011 was such a disappointing year, as they only scraped into the finals at the last moment largely through luck.

This legendary Arrows era has seen two League Cups won, in 2006 and 2009. This is a sterling achievement by any measure, but for a group that was called the most talented set of teenages in BIQL history more than a decade ago, it still feels underwhelming. 2011 showed up the weaknesses with having a team of such experience (re: such aged and weathered bodies). 

The Arrows still have what it takes to destroy any team and, if all goes right, win the League Cup. But they are fast running out of time to add one more trophy to the legacy.
