Forward! March!

Posted by , at 5:18 pm on Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

On Saturday 24th March, Croydon Riot Squad travelled up the M5 to Birmingham to take on the Blitz Dames in their open door bout at Birmingham Futsal Arena. The last time these two sides met in early 2011, the Blitz Dames took the victory over the Riot Squad; could Croydon make it 1-1?!

It was an open door debut for four of Croydon’s finest; *1* Daylight Thobbery, 12pc Carnal Sanders, 101 Lambortini and 89 Vikispeedia. Two of these four picked up awards after the bout!

So the Riot Squad are kitted out in purple and gray and the Blitz Dames in green and red, first whistle, Blitz Dames take lead jammer and it 4-0. At half time score was Blitz Dames 88-48 Riot Squad, Croydon managing to pull some points back in the latter part of the first half through great jamming from Vikispeedia and from President Garfield taking advantage of a power jam in Croydon’s favour. The awesome walling of the Riot Squad blockers even held Violet Attack back, and almost made her give up at times. However it wasn’t meant to be and the final score was Blitz Dames 158-103 Riot Squad, great roller derby played by everyone involved. The Birmingham Blitz Dames make it 2-0, but Croydon Riot Squad will look forward to playing them again soon.
