Wigtown Wanderers


WIGTOWN WANDERERS 
Founded: 1422                                            League Cups: 26                      Last League Cup: 1983
                       2011: 6th (Lost in Semi Final)

These are far from vintage times for the Galleon-strapped Wanderers. But last year they were a revelation, surprising many on their way to Week 2 of the finals. Their squad is experienced and solid, but still lacks real star power, an increasingly notable problem as their average age slowly creeps towards 30.

As ever through Wigtown history, it is the Parkin descendants who carry much of the weight. Begonia still lacks some of the mind-blowing agility of the world’s top Seekers, but is a wise and wily fox, while captain Alaistair is as clever and brutal a Beater as they come.

Unlikely to truly threaten for the title, but could genuinely feature in the finals reckoning.
