LRR's First Intraleague Bout

Apologies for the late posting ...

Uncivil War -

NeanderDolls vs Voodoo Skull Krushers

It was fierce, it was hard fought, and it was close, but the Voodoo Skull Krushers held on to the lead to secure the inaugural victory in the first London Rockin' Rollers intraleague season.

Both teams put on a great show for the crowd. The NeanderDolls skated out to Wild Thing, wearing leopard print outfits and brandishing clubs and bones. The Voodoo Skull Krushers, resplendent in green and purple, carried shrunken heads and talismanic poles while Voodoo People played in the background.

On the track there was no let up. Both teams played similar tactics - racing to take the front and form a wall to prevent the opposition jammer getting through. The hits were hard, there were penalties apiece and the pace was hectic. At half time the VSKs had a 17 point lead, at 51:34, but it didn't last long. The NeanderDolls fought back to go into the lead early in the second half, but could not stop the might of the Voodoos. The game finished 98:95 in the Voodoo's favour, but it might so easily have gone the other way.

Kit, LRR

Roller Derby The Musical??!!

Check out this little beauty that Jetspun member El Toupee just found!! Not quite sure whether the poster girl is skating or in labour, but it definitely looks like it could be an interesting new addition to the world of Roller Derby!!!

All Hail The Coming of Eros!!!!

So ... the logo is only a rough draft, and the accronym looks set to change to European Rollerderby Officials' Society, but the Round-Up Bout has heard some very exciting whisperings about a new organisation for roller derby refs and officials across Europe!

In the 12 or so hours since the draft logo was posted on Facebook, it has received more cyber chatter than the TXRD bootcamp announcement!  So officials get keen!  And get in contact with Twis-ted Miister for more details.

Stop Press, Save The Date

SAVE THE DATE!

Don't buy the t-shirt yet, but keep the cash handy...

On the weekend of the LRG vs TXRG Hustlers game (March 20/21)  there is a STRONG possibility that there will also be a genuine Texas Rollergirls Bootcamp!

The Texas Rollergirls are the mothers of flat track roller derby, their travel team is currently ranked #2 in WFTDA, they have cool Texas accents, AND their boot camps are famous for being super awesome.  We really hope to be able to bring this chance for everyone in Europe to take part.

Why the wait you ask?

As per usual, it's all down to venues.  We are simply waiting to confirm if we are able to get a venue big enough to do the event justice.  We are talking multiple tracks of awesomeness and room for everyone to get some quality skate time with the TXRG showing you their ropes.

So....please signal your interest by filling out our save the date form.  It will help us determine how much room we might need, how many days we can include, and it will also ensure that you are first on the email list for when/if it goes on sale in the near future!

Get your skates on!
