Chudley Cannons 

The Chudley Cannons is an English Quidditch team based in Chudley (thought to be the Muggle town of Chudleigh in Devonshire, England).

robes: orange (CS3, QA7, Pm).
home: Chudley
logo: two black Cs and speeding cannonball (CS3, QA7).
club motto: “We shall conquer” (pre-1972), “Let’s all just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best” (after 1972) (QA7).

The Cannons won the league 21 times, the last time being in 1892 (QA7, Pm). They also won they league in 1873 and a “disillusioned” fan is selling the souvenir medal from that game (DP2).

Although they have a well-earned reputation for losing, they did win two games and draw one, after a sixteen game losing streak (their worst season in fifty years). This was documented in a series of articles in the Daily Prophet (DP1, DP2, DP3, DP4). However, Albus Dumbledore, a Puddlemere United fan, doesn’t think much of the chance of the Cannons’ sustaining any kind of winning record (DH33, QA) and they are often at the bottom-of-the-table.
