Slytherin lost the first match of the 1991-1992 season against the Gryffindor house team. The outcome of their matches against Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff is not known.

Lucius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy's father, bought the entire Slytherin Quidditch team Nimbus 2001s. Draco replaced Terence Higgs as Seeker. Despite their superior brooms, Slytherin lost their first match of the season against Gryffindor. Slytherin did not get to play against either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, as the Quidditch Cup was cancelled because of attacks on Muggle-born students.

Lucius Malfoy purchased Nimbus 2001s for the Slytherin Quidditch team in 1992.

[edit] 1993-1994

C. Warrington replaced Adrian Pucey as a Chaser this year. Lee Jordan commented that the captain "seems to be going for size rather than skill" in the lineup. On the last day of the season, Slytherin lost against Gryffindor during the re-scheduled match. The outcome of the other two matches played by Slytherin is unknown, and they lost the Quidditch Cup to Gryffindor.

[edit] 1994-1995

The Quidditch Cup was cancelled due to the Triwizard Tournament being held at Hogwarts.

[edit] 1995-1996

"Weasley cannot save a thing,
He cannot block a single ring,
That's why Slytherins all sing:
Weasley is our King."

—Slytherins, commenting on Ron Weasley's Keeper abilities.^[src]

Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle replaced Derrick and Bole as the beaters on the 1995-1996 team. Slytherin lost their match against Gryffindor. The outcome of Slytherin's matches against Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are unknown.

[edit] 1996-1997

Vaisey replaced Adrain Pucey as a Chaser the 1996–1997 school year, Urquhart replaced Montague as both a Chaser and Captain. During their match against Gryffindor, Vaisey was not able to play due to a Bludger hitting his head during practice. Draco Malfoy was also unable to play, and Harper took his place as Seeker. They lost against Gryffindor. The outcomes of Slytherin's matches against Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are unknown.

[edit] 1997-1998

It is unknown whether or not the Quidditch Cup was played during this year.

[edit] Uniforms and Equipment

The Slytherin Quidditch team's uniforms are green and silver, their house colours. The uniform was described as robes in the books, however, in the recent movies, players were shown wearing separate garments instead.

For Beaters, they also carry small black clubs (similar to baseball bats) to help them ward off Bludgers during matches. The Keeper wears gloves.

[edit] Safety Features

Generally, only protective arm-length gloves and knee-pads are used. In stormy conditions, some players wear goggles. However, the Keeper may wear shoulder-pads, chest armour and a helmet.
