The Rolling Dead...

On Saturday Birmingham Blitz Dames and Leicester's Dolly Rockit Rollers faced off against each other in not one, but two bouts!

The first bout; Dawn of the Dames vs the Raggy Dollz was the Blitz Dames' B Team's first ever bout. With a little help from a couple of friends from Wolverhampton Honour Rollers and the Norfolk Brawds, they took on DRR's B Team. The final score was Dawn of the Dames 84 - 123 Raggy Dollz.

The second bout was a BBD vs DRR A team bout. After a hard fought hour of fast jamming, hard hitting roller derby, the final score was BBD 86 - 120 Dolly Rockit Rollers.

It was a double win for the visitors (at our first ever bout in our swanky new venue; Birmingham Futsal Arena), and a fun, zombie filled afternoon all round.

Last Saturday Birmingham Blitz Dames Violet Attack, Sleazy Rider, Roisin Roulette, Nina Nunchucks and our bench coach Rex Tangle took part in the UK's first ever co-ed bout at Dodgebrawl! (Plus BBD Line Up Manager extraordinaire, Just Awesome did line ups on the day!)

The Dames and Dukes were on a mixed team forming the Purple Cobras and were up against mixed team, the Average Joes.

The final score was Purple Cobras 118, Average Joes 123.... so close!

Rex Tangle got the award for Best Jammer and Violet Attack the award for Best Jammer. Nice one!

Huge thanks to our old mates SRT for being such wonderful hosts and giving us a great bout!

Mixed Scrim Fun with the Harlots

The Dames would like to thank our friends the Hellfire Harlots for joining us once again for a mixed scrimmage last Saturday.

The mixed team scrimmage was loads of fun and ended in an astounding victory for the black team!

Thanks to everyone who helped the scrimmage run so smoothly.


If any other leagues would like to visit us for a scrimmage, as a league or mixed teams, drop us an email at info@blitzdames.com

Fabulous Skatefest!

Despite the bout not starting until 11.30pm(!) the Dames had a great time with their friends Severn Roller Torrent at Skatefest. The final score was Birmingham Blitz Dames 102 - 54 Severn Roller Torrent. Thanks to Skatefest ofr having us and to everyone who helped out on the day.

We'd also like to thank everyone from leagues all over the UK (and the world!) who have sent us messages of support during the riots in Birmingham. We really appreciate your thoughts at this time. It's amazing how the roller derby community pulls together!
