Has anyone ever been to a

match?

 

A friend manages the local team and invited us along to watch on Saturday; it's like a cross between Aussie rules football and speed skating played by women who are mostly wearing either fancy dress or skimpy outfits Needless to say The Boy is asking when the next bout is We had great fun and can't wait to support 'our team' when they next play locally.

I think I heard a feature about this on Woman's Hour a while ago.

I seem to remember that they have very imaginative and witty names for their teams. It sounded a lot of fun!

 

I'll have to look out for a match in Cornwall!

[The Dogmother]

Yes, and their racing names are fun too - Dolly Spartan... Golden Judicious....

Andy will be there with his camera if i tell him

[superkitty]

I know someone whose roller derby skating name is Mount Crushmore I love the names!!

[lillybettybabs]

I wonder what mine could be

[The Dogmother]

Vendetta Vixen was a good one as was The Wrath of Sian.

 

 

....Spank Anansie..... Miss Adventure....... Clawed Monet

 

You'd love it Karen - it's rather like a rough version of women's Rugby. Our home team's next bout is in Northampton on 30th June, we'll be there to cheer our lot on

If you go let me know - sounds like fun!

Will do, I think we'll be there; Phil is already champing at the bit about it We had seats but the front row are on the floor on soft mats known as 'Suicide Seats',

of the match we watched shows why... watch the girl in blue; you run the risk of having a derby girl collide with you Edited May 21, 2012 by Guest

Two of my boys have been. They thought it was brilliant. Exhilarating and violent.

[The Dogmother]

Yes, The Boy loved it too..... my friend's daughter is easily the prettiest girl on their team; Phil was chatting to her for ages and said to me that he thought she was really stunning. I said 'yes, that's Russ's daughter

 

She's a lawyer
