The Falmouth Falcons are a Quidditch team that plays in the British and Irish Quidditch League. The team is based in the town of Falmouth, which is located in the southwest of England.
The Falcons play in robes of dark grey and white with a falcon emblem on the chest. They are known for their fierce and violent style of play. In fact, they are so violent, that the team motto is: Let us win, but if we cannot win, let us break a few heads. The Broadmoor brothers, Karl and Kevin, who played as Beaters between 1958 and 1969, were suspended on no less than fourteen occasions due to persistent rule-breaking. The current Beaters are Conor Fitzpatrick and Edward Surry, who have succeeded the Broadmoor legacy by ensuring they are vicious in their attempt to strive towards the National Quidditch Cup.
Behind the scenes
The team motto is a likely reference to the motto for the Special Olympics: "Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt."
