Puddlemere United is the Quidditch team Oliver Wood joins as a reserve after graduation from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They were founded in 1163, making them the oldest team in the British and Irish Quidditch League. Their robes are navy-blue robes emblazoned with two crossed golden bulrushes. Their location is possibly somewhere on the River Piddle in Dorset. The team has won the League 22 times and the European Cup twice.
Puddlemere United's team anthem, Beat Back Those Bludgers, Boys, and Chuck That Quaffle Here, was recorded by singing sorceress Celestina Warbeck to raise money for St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries shortly before the publication of the edition of Quidditch Through the Ages that could be purchased by Muggles for Comic Relief. Albus Dumbledore is apparently a fan of this team.
