THE KEEPERS
The position of Keeper has certainly existed since the 13th century, though
the role has changed since that time.
According yo Zacharias Mumps, the Keeper:
should be first to reach the goal basket for it is his job to prevent
the Quaffle entering therein. The Keeper should bewrae of straying too
far towards the other end of the pitch, in case his baskets come under
threat in his absence. However, a fast Keeper may be able to score a
goal and then return to his basket in time to prevent the other team
equalising. It is a matter for the individual conscience of the Keeper.
It is clear from this that in Mumps's daythe Keepers performed like Chasers
with extra reponsibilities. They were allowed to move all over the pitch and
to score goals.
By the time Quintius Umfravile wrote The Noble Sport of Warlocks in 1620,
however, the Keeper's job had been simplified. The scoring areas had now been
added to the pitch and the Keepers were advised to remain within them, guard-
ing their goal baskets, though Keepers may fly out of this area in an attempt
to intimidate opposing Chasers or head them off early.
