More Details

TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE

The Rainy City Roller Girls are out for blood on the 17th of April at the Castle Leisure Centre Bury. Ever since the last bottle of Old Sailor Jerry vanished in mysterious circumstances it was only going to be a matter of time before the factions decided to do battle.

The Jolly Dodgers captained by R.E.D will take on Blackbeard’s Bruisers lead by Cat Outta Hell in a pitched battle to finally answer the question “where has all the rum gone?”.

As of last night the stakes have been raised, The Dodgers roped in some Liverpool Roller Birds to join the fray, the Bruisers of course responded with “ha! We see your Roller Birds and Raise you two Wakey WheeledCats” So naturally both teams have two Birds and two Cats…

Many of the girls involved will be bouting for the first time so grab your pom poms and support your team.

Wakey Wheeled Cats - On a Roll

CLICK HERE to see the first video to accompany Linda Lumardy's online diary of life in the Wakey Wheeled Cats.   


Here's what she has to say so far ....


Welcome to On a Roll my online diary on life in the Wakey Wheeled Cats. I joined the league in August, after being sent to write a feature on the Cats for the Express women’s magazine.  From the first tentative roll I was hooked, and luckily they let me join! It took a while for me to get my skates and I’ve only been to a few practices so far, so you’ll be with me right from the beginning.  Hopefully it will be a good read, but if anything it should be a laugh, as I’ve already had some spectacular bruises, and there will be many more to come.  Rather than bombard you with a huge first blog, over the next few weeks I’ll keep uploading snippets about roller derby life to get you all up to date. But for the first day of  On a Roll, we have something very special for Wakey Wheeled Cats fans – our first ever training blog! Luckily for those of you who don’t like car-crash-telly, it doesn’t feature me, as I’m behind the camera, but instead Cats co-founder and coach Kirsty Quinn will be taking you through the basics of a roller derby game, and fellow co-founder Stephanie Sellers will be showing you a few beginners moves.
 I hope you enjoy it!

Cats in the Papers

Hey Cats and Kittens,

Wakey Wheeled Cats have a bit of exciting news we’d like to share with you!

Linda LuMardy, a new skater to our league, is using her journalistic wonderfulness to write an online weekly blog about becoming a roller derby girl. This will be accompanied by a monthly, three-minute video blog of The Wakey Wheeled Cats' training sessions.
Every month you can follow us from our humble beginnings, as we’re currently a very new league, through our beginners training and beyond, eventually up to playing bouts.

We would especially love for other leagues to get involved too!

Each month we’d like to have a guest skater or coach from a different league to hold a small training session, which will be filmed and shared for all to see. We hope for this to be built up from the very basics, past minimum skills assessments and into training drills. Hopefully this can promote not just our league, but other UK leagues and UK Roller Derby as a whole.

If you’re an interested league or skater, please get in touch, either on the WWC Facebook Page or HERE 

The blogs can be found on the Wakefield Express website and on our league website too.

This Friday, the 23rd October, will be the launch of the blogs. There will be an article in the Express, plus Linda’s first blog and our (first, shaky) video will be on the website .

Derby Love,

Fu-Quinn Hell

Wakey Wheeled Cats

The Wakey Wheeled Cats are one of the newest leagues in the UK.  While they are not quite ready for scrimmages or bouts yet, they are keen to invite other leagues up to Wakefield for mixed practices.  If your league fancies a change of scenery, email Fu-Quinn Hell or go to the league's website.
