Catapults Name Their Captain....Or Do They?  
The Caerphilly Catapults have announced that veteran and legacy player Carys Llewellyn will be riding the helm of captain as the season begins. This is a surprising pick as the latest shakeups in the Catapults' roster left fans to believe they were completely starting from scratch. Australian seeker and superstar Baz Courtney recently stole the starting spot from Vinny Gudgeon, who was swept up by the Falcons. Many speculated that Courtney would be taking the coveted Catapult captain spot, but those sources close to the team say that Courtney is only interested in two things: winning and himself.

"This might be a risky move," Quidditch analyst Kevin Widmore explains, "Llewellyn is just coming off more than a season of not being in action, and let's be honest---she still hasn't lost all the baby weight. How is she supposed to keep up with the rest of the team? They'd be smarter to go with Tristan Bardera, who has never not performed for the team---this may be his chance to show what he could really do."

With the trend in the Catapults franchise of shipping out what they don't think belongs, this move seems to be the latest step. If Llewellyn doesn't perform after giving her this responsibility, she'll most likely end up like former captain Griff Kirkham.

In any case, it's turning out to be a great season to watch, so stay tuned!
