Any extinguishment of fire is caused by removal of one or more parts of the fire tetrahedron: Oxygen, Heat, Fuel, & Chemical Reaction. In the case of blowing out a match you are removing HEAT. You are disrupting the area of heat being caused by the match and by blowing more air onto it, you are in fact displacing the heat. Sustained combustion must occur at certain temperatures depending on the fuel and level of oxygen, thus blowing air at a fast rate onto the match causes the temperature to drop below this temperature and go out.
