MMR Vs. NRG
Yesterday the Middlesbrough Milk Rollers had a close bout with the Newcastle Roller Girls with subs from Manchester and liverpool. Sadly MMR lost though it but it was a close bout throughout, the first half went to MMR but in the second half NRG played a blinder with the end score being 102 - 81 to NRG, close right?!
It was a freaking awesome day and for more on MMR you can visist their official...

GET YO ASS OFF THAT CHAIR!
This is just a short one, I was NSOing at the Great Yorkshire Showdown last month and I just wanted to put a heads up to any girls in the Sin Bin.

Wrist Slamage
Sundays practice was fun but pretty brutal, blocking drills can really mess you up if your not focused! Though I wouldn’t say I wasn’t focused…just to busy singing Baby Got Back, which could be considered as being unfocused but lets face, that song is CLASSY!
But yes, when I was back in secondary school I stupidly went snowboarding, where on the last go down the slope I hit the...

INTROLLER DERBY
I guess I’ve tried to blog before and, it’s never really worked out…but personally I think its because I haven’t found the one thing I’m passionate about now, however I think I have. Let me start of by saying I’m not the sportiest person in the word, I’ve never supported a football team, the same goes for rugby or really any team biased sport; so as you...
