This weekend in European derby:
Scandanavia has a packed schedule! Luleå take on Gothenburg, looking for the league's first win. Crime City play host to Finland's Dirty River, fresh off their Suomi Cup schedule, and the dominant Stockholm. Crime City's A-team have climbed from #11 to #8, and even a well-fought loss against Europe's #2 would improve that position.
A little action on the south side of the channel. Nantes and Metz play an A&B double header, and Rockcity take on One Love. Both of these have a wide gap between the teams, so there is certainly a potential for a continental shake-up! [UPDATE] I missed the Royal Windsor Roller Girls travelling down to Paris to face a tough test of their ability. If there was one bout I could go to this weekend...
SW:UK carries on. SWAT-Kernow looks a bit one-sided, although SWAT have been slipping down the table lately. Dorset take on Wilts, fresh off a very helpful defeat by Plymouth. Never have Dorset looked better!
North of the border, Fierce Valley face up against Preston. Both teams evenly ranked, both looking for their 2nd win in the last 12 months.
Oxford take on Leeds-B, in what looks like a major challenge for the southern side. A good result, even a good losing one, would certainly help them look like a rising regional power, as well as buoy up the rest of the Heartlands competitors.
Good luck to everyone bouting this weekend! If you're not bouting, try to make it over to your nearest bout.
Oooh and the mighty Windsor are playing Paris! :)
ReplyDeleteEveryone forgot B.M.O. Roller Derby Girls (Brest, France) taking on the Amsterdam Derby Dames All stars.
ReplyDeleteSo sad.
