The players moved with swiftness and accuracy that quickly justified why they were at the very top of their sport. At least so far as the eye test was concerned it was easy to see why these players had reached the finals.<br/><br/>For the first few minutes of the match, it was largely neutral, without an early snitch capture to interrupt the spectacle. While some hoped that, particularly after the Welsh keepers record through the tournament, a world record capture might be on track for this final. As it was, though, there was back and forth control of the quaffle and after one excellent save by the Spanish keeper he just couldn't keep up and first one, then another goal got past him to give Wales a 20-0 lead.<br/><br/>After that perhaps it was demoralization, the pressure or simply contending with their opponents but whatever the cause the Spanish team started to slip. Their beaters were so focused on keeping the Welsh seeker subdued that their own chasers were unable to maintain possession leading to a slew of goals from Wales and a rough injury as one of the Spanish chasers was struck hard in the shoulder by a bludger, struggling to maintain the speed and precision they had displayed earlier.<br/><br/>By the end of the first twenty the Welsh team led at 70-0, a commanding lead but still one that was far from insurmountable as a single snitch capture of a bad next twenty could easily turn the tide at this level of the game. The Welsh fans, in particular, were cheering very loudly as their team found success. There was a little surprise, perhaps, that the rest of the team were holding up so well. Some would attribute it to the way their opponents were stuck dedicating so many resources to the Welsh seeker while others would simply say the other Welsh players were under-appreciated due to the sheer talent of their seeker. Spanish fans, meanwhile, bellowed in support of their team in the hopes that they would turn it around soon before the early lead of their opponents became unassailable.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">D10 Quidditch Results</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/>Wales Vs.
