It's been a little while since I posted a round up and it's exciting times for roller derby in Victoria. Not only are there quite a few bouts going on, but there's a lot of fundraising events coming up in the world of roller derby.
And a little further out on the horizon, it's the The Great Southern Slam. Set to be held at the Adelaide Showground on June 12-13. Teams from all across Australia and New Zeland will battle it out to determine who is the most awesome. The two day event will feature five friggin tracks (split between two pavilions).
It's sure to be the most exciting thing to hit Adelaide since... ever?
VRDL
Season 5 of VRDL cotinues to be popular as ever, though not without intrigue, but possibly more about this in a different (more grumbly) post... There's been a few injuries which meant that the Dead Ringer Rosies weren't in 100% health at Birthday Bash, which was both a shame for those players and Rosies supporters.
The results of the first two bouts of Season 5 were:
Burn Your Brass (13th March) – Dolls Au‐Go‐Go (204) defeated Toxic Avengers (134)
Birthday Bash (17th April) – Toxic Avengers (216) defeated Dead Ringer Rosies (139)
The next bout will see the Rosies face off against the Dolls. If the Rosies win the match then it'll be one a peice and I presume it'll go down to point differentiation (which may be a little close). But we'll see what happens.
Check out thier Myspace, the VRDL Facebook group or the VRDL blog.
Oh and tea towel merch! Brilliant idea... Will probably end up buying one next bout if I have the cash to do so.

BRDL
BRDL played a great bout at Daylesford Chillout festival back in March (wow, that long ago). It'll be interesting to see how they do against the GRDL teams though.
On a personal note, we got there a little late, I was driving (I'm an L plater) and this was on the day of the hailstorms. We had to pull over for 10 minutes while the hail just slammed down on the car. Only managed to miss the first 10 or so minutes though.
BRDL are also having a fundraiser called "I ♥ the 80's ROLLER DISCO" on 8th May at Doug Dean Reserve in Delacombe. Dress 80's, Dance 80's, Skate 80's. Check out facebook for more details.
