The Total Quidditch. Podcast- Episode 10: Taya Rawson

  

Commitment, A painful setback and Turning the world upside down- Taya Rawson


In the series finale for series 1 of the podcast, we head to the land down under to chat with Australia's Taya Rawson. We talk a lot about Taya's involvement with the Australian national team, the Dropbears, of course going into great depth on their incredible World Cup win in 2016 as well as talking about how she coped with a serious knee injury and how quidditch has helped Taya in her sporting and professional life post-quidditch.

Match Analysis: EQC 2019 Quarter Final- Titans Paris vs Antwerp QC

Photo Credit- Antwerp Quidditch Club/Bruggeling Quidditch Photography The end of Antwerp QC was a bombshell for European Quidditch. The generation that claimed EQC 2017 and formed the core of a Belgian squad that earned silver at World Cup 2018 is calling it quits, and there are no successors to continue the franchise. But the team will be re...
