Rat City Rollergirls Championship Bout


12 Jul

The Rat City Rollergirls Championship bout was this weekend. The Grudge Match (DLF v Sockit Wenches) and the championship (Throttle Rockets v Grave Danger) were exciting, hard-fought bouts. As a Throttle Rockets fan, it was hard to see them lose. Being married to a DLF fan made their first win in 2 years more exciting.

The big news though, was the people leaving. Drew Blood, the SW coach is moving away, and two long-time, favorite skaters- X-Khan of SW and Valtron of TR retired.

I will miss seeing them on the flat track. Best of luck to all of them.

Rat City Rollergirls, Season 7, Bout 2


20 Feb

The Rose City Rollers- Portland’s Derby League –came up for a rivalry match. The teams played based on last season’s internal rankings, so our fourth place team played their fourth place team, etc.

Derby Liberation Front and Throttle Rockets (our 4th and 3rd) were better than their lower ranked teams. However, while TR won by a large margin, the bout was really much closer than the score indicated.

Grave Danger lost in sudden death overtime, something that rarely happens. We left when the Sockit Wenches were down 40 points. It’s possible they could come back, but it didn’t seem likely.
