The bout last night was 6 on 6 teams, so we played shorter periods and 3 on 3 Blocker action. In the first period, the lead was back and forth, but scoring was way down from our last bout, showing big improvement in the low contact blocking of both teams. We even had a few friends and new skaters as score keepers and and spectators. It was a ton of fun! We rounded out the second period with a score of Red Shirts 56 to Black Hats 50, and asked our spectators for support. The third period kicked off, and the score was up to 62-56. Black Hats were pushing to catch up and win the bout, and then a fall on the third turn by Chlorine, led to some blocking in the straight-away after turn four with Rami California going down backwards. The Bout was called at 62-58 when black was forced to forfeit with only 4 players left. Don’t worry, the injuries are minor and the women are recovering this morning at home.

In other news, we have lots of new skaters joining in 2011, and LOCO Roller Derby in London, ON is now available to invite your recreational teams and groups, or your WFTDA farm and rookie teams out to scrimmage with us in 2011 under a low contact rule set.  Contact info@locorollerderby.com if you are interested.  LOCO will be back to regularly scheduled practices on January 7, 2011 in London.
