 Solution to Scouting for Britain
Brantock saw the Seeker who'd perfected the Plumpton Pass third in order after the Appleby Arrows, meaning that the Appleby Arrows and the team with the Seeker skilled at the Plumpton Pass had to be either first and fourth or second and fifth.
Thus, the Kenmare Kestrels must be first, meaning that the Appleby Arrows are second and had the team with the precision flying Seeker, and that the team with the speedy Seeker was third.
The Kenmare Kestrels are first, the Appleby Arrows are second, the team with the speedy Seeker was third, and the team with the Seeker good at the Plumpton Pass was fifth.

I swear, right from the tip-off it was one of the ruddy best games I've been involved in in my life.
Apparently that's the cleanest game so far this season, but it doesn't surprise me. Appleby are a very good side, and good sides don't need to bend or break the rules in order to win.
But the Appleby Seeker actually pulled it off, and our Seeker was taken in; ended up trying to pull out and smashing into the spectator's stand, I think they had to take people to St Mungo's, but the Feint.
