Saturday night Kelly and I went to watch the roller Derby at the Edgar Centre. The coach of the Dunedin team Zoe who is a member of the gym and Kelly’s best friend Nikki were both playing so we went to cheer them on. It was a really cool event. Music blasting, energized crowd and some fierce competitors. It was super entertaining and you clearly have to be fit to do well at this sport. It is a “stop – start” sport, so short burst of power is needed for your team to get the upper hand. Two teams of 5 skate counter clockwise around a track. Each team has a “Jammer” who needs to score point by skating past the opposing team. Nikki and Zoe were mainly played as blockers which means they have to prevent the Jammer from getting past and score. This made for a fast paced contact sport where if you got knocked down there was no time to feel sorry for yourself, it was back up on your skates and keep going. The Gallow Lasses were in control most of the game and got a comprehensive win in the end. Well done girls, thanks for a very entertaining evening.
