As you may have noticed by our furious fundraising, MRD is sending a mixed team of female skaters over to Amsterdam in just under three weeks - to take on the Amsterdam Derby Dames.
This is the first time we have sent a full team abroad to compete - making us international skaters! How exciting! To keep track of any updates, whether you can make it or not, here is the Facebook event.
Some information on the bout from Amsterdam Derby Dames...
The Amsterdam Derby Dames are already in the Halloween spirit! On 13th October 2012 they will be playing a home bout entitled 'Amsterdamned'.
The duel against Manchester Roller Derby promises to be more exciting than ever and Amsterdam Derby Dames are putting out a squad of their best players from the All Star Team. Speed, tactics and a dose of controlled aggression on the track will take centre stage.
Amsterdam Derby Dames invite you to join them on Saturday 13 October to witness this event at the Sporthal Bankras in Amstelveen. If you can't join them, you could always follow the scores on Twitter.
