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.

 

WFTDA Western Regionals: Rose City Rollers vs B.ay A.rea D.erby Girls


10 Oct

Sadly, we missed the Rat City vs Denver game due to car troubles. We arrived just as it ended, and learned that Rat City won the bout.

Rose City vs BAD was disappointing. We hadn’t expected much from Rose City vs Oly, but vs BAD, we thought they would return to the form they were in vs Rat City. We were wrong. For one pass late in the 2nd half, they were able to put together a wall, but it didn’t even last the whole jam. BAD didn’t run away with the bout, but the outcome was rarely in question.

 

WFTDA Western Regionals: Saturday


09 Oct

Saturday was a day of blow outs. It started with Rat City beating the host team, Sacred City, by over 300 points. They set a WFTDA tournament record with 39 points scored in a single jam. Later, Rat City took down Tuscon. Denver defeated Duke City in the morning and Jet City in the afternoon.

This was the first real look at both the Oly and Rocky Mountain teams. Friday, they had each won without breaking a sweat. Neither sweated much more in taking out the previous day’s winners – Oly over Rose City and Rocky Mountain over the BAD Girls.

 

WFTDA Western Regionals: Rose City vs Rat City


06 Oct

Rose City came out with an amazing defense and shut Rat City down. They had a couple outstanding jams and went into the half with a 60 point lead. The second half, Rat City returned with a vengeance and finally played their game. ReAnimateher put on the star; points went on the board. But it wasn’t enough. Rose City by 12 points.

Most frustrating bout of the tournament. Rose City never got their defense together again; Rat City found their offense. Had this gone the other way, Rat City would probably be on their way to Championships (in 3rd place).
