M.U.R.D.A. make history!

Yesterday marked an important step in UK Roller Derby history ... the first ever Men's Roller Derby Bout on UK soil.  M.U.R.D.A  - the Men's UK Roller Derby Association, an amalgamation of refs from the various women's leagues across the country, split into two teams - Black Ice & Vanilla Ice -  for the closed bout at Great Barr Leisure Centre.


The first public display of Men's Derby will take place (ironically!) at Carnival of the Strange , a Lincolnshire Bombers event in Newark on November 21st.


Congratulations lads, if any of you fancy writing a few words about the bout for The Round-Up Bout, I'm sure our readers would love to hear how things went.

    Thanks for this post I saw my first bout in Oldham between London Rockin Rollers and the Rainy City Roller girls. It was totally amazing, I'm hooked and want to know more about the Merby now:)
