Am watching George and Martha... I love how obsessed they are by rollerderby... But because I can't find a video of them, here's a video from the latest VRDL bout...
Here's another Victorian Roller derby round-up... it's been a while huh?
VRDL
VRDL's latest bout, Movember Proskate Awareness was awesome...
As a bit of a side note, VRDL is getting really popular. The first match of this season seemed tiny (compared to Skate of Origin 2). VRDL seems to be advertising very well and clearly people are enjoying the matches and atmosphere.
Seemed like there was a lot of people turned away, and while we got there at around 7pm and had actual tickets we missed out on getting our usual seats. Instead we had to sit down near the Suicide line.
As a massive side note, here's some 'celebrity spotting' sillyness. I pointed out to Urbabe that Josh Thomas was standing on the other side, but we couldn't see Charlie Pickering with him (though we had seen him before). Urbabe sent a twitter to him asking if he wasn't friends with Josh. About a minute later he was standing behind us... we waited to see if he would pull out his phone to twitter back, but he didn't till later that night. Urbabe's attempts at Kenearing didn't work too well.
Getting on to the actual game, there was a lot of rough and tumble. Hidden Magenta took a tumble and was out for the rest of the game. Tsunami hit the floor and took a few jams off, but I think it's hard for her to be injured so she later rejoined the game. The game was very back and forth, with the Toxic Avengers getting an early lead, only for the Dead Ringer Rosies to jump ahead a few bouts later. With a lot of agression (and passion) there were a few times that Skate Bush as jammer would
end up in the penalty box at the end of a jam, meaning she was jammer for the Rosies a lot.
Near the end, the Rosies got a 30 point break on the Avengers. From there on out, point scoring was close, leaving a final score of Rosies 142 to the Toxics 118.
So get ready for the VRDL final Crashendo where the Rosies and Avengers go head to head again on the 5th December 2009 at Puckhandlers. And make sure you get some Reservoir Dolls items before they all go.
