Season 2013 begins!

Saturday 4th of May kicked off Northland Nightmares Roller Girlz 2013 season and it was an action-packed evening all the way!

First up Northland Nightmares Derby Bratz held a demo game, with Team Yellow taking the game over Team Purple 97 points to 53. The Bratz had an awesome bout and they certainly showed some pretty damn fine derby skills out there!

Then May Mayhem ruled as the advanced players took the track. By half time Team Blood had a substantial lead, but Team Bruise pulled it back in the second half, and after a nail-biting final jam the final score as 162-160!

It was a hard fought, exhausting game with both teams playing with three blockers which opened up the game and made it a lot faster and easier for the jammers to break through…maybe Roller Derby needs to consider this as an option in future…?

A great opening bout and as always we couldn’t have done it without our amazing refs, NSO’s, volunteers, fans, friends and family – you are the bomb!

Next up it’s Hells Wives vs Mount Militia Derby Crew’s Dangerous Curves on the 29th of June! We can’t wait to play together as a team again – let’s hope it’s a repeat of last time we met Dangerous Curves and took out the win!

May Mayhem! Skills, Thrills and Spills!

What a fantastic day our charity event Storm in a D-Cup was on the 27^th of October, raising money for The New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation!

We decked ASB Kensington Stadium out in pink and our derby extravaganza opened with our Bratz team featuring the Bra Straps vs Boobie Busters, followed by a cherry-popping bout for our Freshies aka Team Training Bra vs Team AA Cup.

Then it was the main event, our finale starring our advanced players and special guests from Hibiscus Coast Rollers as teams Bazooka Bombers vs Rack Attack!

It was an exciting, exhausting (for some!) and memorable day and we were very proud to raise money for this amazing cause. A HUGE thanks to our sponsors, those who made donations and as always to our refs, NSOs, volunteers, family and friends; we couldn’t of done it without ya!

Now onto our next event, the Kamo Christmas Parade on the 24^th of November!

We’re in the PINK!

What’s been happening since the last post?

Well, Hells Wives hit the highway to Hellmilton and played Raggedy Angst, score 102-166 to Raggedy Angst….

Then Hells Wives hosted Hibiscus Coast Rollers’ Bella Mafia in what was Bella Mafia’s very first bout! Score, 362-16 to Hells Wives!

And our next bout, our intra-league final between Diva Destruction and Deathrow Dolls, well, it had to be cancelled (booo-hooo!) but the rematch is set for sometime in 2013!

What’s up next? Our final event of the season and it’s going to be AMAZING!
