LOCO Roller Derby London is proud to announce that we were able, with the help of the attendees of our bout to end sexual violence, to raise a total donation of $2063 for the Sexual Assault Center London! The event on Sunday May 1 included a small turn out for the self defense class, but those that attended spoke highly of the gained knowledge, so it was worth it if the knowledge helps one of them avoid an attack in the future. For the bout, all the ticket holders showed up, and did they ever get a good show!

There were fast skaters, falls, hits, shoves, major penalties, minor penalties, laughs, gasps, chills and thrills. The score was back and forth, first the Black Heartz, then the Pretty Terrors, but in the end, the Black Heartz defensive lines held up over the more agile Pretty Terrors and topped the night with a 130-11o win. The two highest point scorers were Black Heartz’ Soul Steeler with a 19 point jam (and ironically a 3 major penalties game) and Vegas with an answering 18 point jam.
