A Midsummer Night's Scream - 19th June 2011

Never watched live roller derby? What are you waiting for?

It is exactly one month until our next game at Manchester's Academy 1.

A MONTH!

If you were at our last game, you'll know what the atmosphere's like. Everyone gets behind their respective team and excitement reaches fever pitch. The announcers do a great job of keeping everyone, not least the skaters, on their toes - and the rocking DJs, cake peddlers, merch lovelies and raffle merchants do their very best to make sure no-one leaves without a smile on their face and a feeling of being absolutely essential to the success of the game, BECAUSE YOU ARE!

If you weren't at our last game... first of all, why not? :P I'm just kidding, have a quick read here about it.

But really, roller girls from all across the North West will need your help and support at this one. We're hosting a 'cherry popper' game to give newer skaters experience of playing a real bout. This will be the first bout of the day and sees the Montagues take on the Capulets - aiming to settle the age-old score between the feuding families once and for all.

The finale of the day will be our game against Central City Rollergirls' 'Slay Belles'. It's gonna be a tough one but we're ready to fight, just like Demetrius and Lysander in Shakespeare's enchanting tale of forbidden love and fairies (with added skates!).

Come to Manchester, have a laugh, eat some cake, watch some derby, scream until you're hoarse - what more do you want from a day? The best city in the world combined with the most exciting sport, fairies and Shakespeare. Positively cultured, my love!

You can get your tickets here, but get on it quick. Once they're gone, they're gone.

Derby loves,
