So the Rat City Roller Girls have their semi-final bout on Saturday. I have grown very attached to the sport, and it will be sad (and exciting) to see the second to last game of the season. I am afraid that my favorite team, the Derby Liberation Front, has a tough bout ahead, having to face the Sockit Wenches, who, despite a 1-5 record, have really come on of late, losing to the DLF by only 1 POINT two bouts ago, and keeping it interesting until the last jam vs. the other dominant team, the Throttle Rockets, last bout.
It will be a hell of a match-up. The DLF has a squad of Amazons led by Burnett Down and Deva State, along with speedster Kim Reaper--But they face a speedy, scrappy Sockit Wenches team, led by the last two monthly MVP's Miss Fortune and Pia Mess . Miss Fortune, especially, is not afraid to take a hit.
In the other match, I think the Throttle Rockets will easily handle Grave Danger . Especially if GD's Femme Fatale skips the bout again. She might be the fastest woman out there when she plays, but, as you can tell by the team picture, GD lacks size. The Throttle Rockets can lay a heavy hit on you, with the lightning fast bowling-ball that is Darth Skater and tall, fast Valtron 3000. The only question marks are whether the TR will have their two injured jammers back, Interplanet Janet and Hurricane Lilly. Even if they don't (it has been 2 months) they've got plenty of depth at jammer with Astroglide and Dirty Little Secret filling in nicely at the last bout.
If you're in the Seattle area, you can still get tickets. Not to be missed.
