Roll Britannia

Europe’s First Roller Derby Tournament
Hosted by the London Roller Girls

As soon as we finished our first Bout we were hungry for more, we couldn’t wait to play again.  Thankfully the London Roller Girls were busy planning Roll Britannia.  As one of the final two teams to be added to the roster, the Bombshells packed their bags to London.

With only one game under our belts, no one from the other teams knew what to expect.  We brought our game, our professionalism and our heart, turning a few heads and making the other european teams take notice.

Our first game was against the Birmingham Blitz Derby Dames’ Brummie Bombshells, one of Europe’s veteran teams.  Fighting hard and never giving up the Berlin Bombshells played a great game, never giving Birmingham the edge.  The final score 112-93 for Birmingham was differential success for Berlin.

After a short rest and the chance to see some more roller derby action the Bombshells were back on the track.  This time against the Leeds Roller Dolls.  A great team and fun game, both teams fought and the Berlin Bombshells had their first win with 103-93.

Huge thanks to LRG for putting so much time and effort into making the event happen.  To Birmingham and Leeds for playing such great games and all our supporters who made the trip, pushed our merch, and lost their voices on the side lines.
