In a slight change to the planned event we are now pleased to bring you an awesome Double Header extravaganza!

Remember that infamous bout against Glasgow's Irn Bruisers that resulted in not one but two overtime jams last season?? Well this was a rematch, both teams have changed, but the Derby tension remained high, with another nail-biting bout, complete with time-outs, and power jams a plenty. This time Irn Bruisers came out on top. What we know for sure is LRD v GRG is "never dull!"

And if that wasn't enough our whipper-snapper up and comers - the LRD Whip-its (including guest skater Dynamite Stix from MMR took on a team of guest skaters from Hot Wheel Roller Derby, Wakey Wheeled Cats, and Middlesbrough Milk Rollers. Another close game seeing lead switching back and forth between the two teams of rolling dames. The United Rollers eventually took the winning place breaking the Whipits winning streak.
