THIS SUNDAY-SUNDAY-SUNDAY! THE SCREAMIN' ASSAULT SIRENS AND SYDNEY CITY C.B.D'VIANTS FACE OFF IN ROUND TWO OF RRRRRR-ROLLER DERBY!!
Few things showcase the grace and femininity of womanhood like a pack of girls battling it out in a gymnasium on roller skates.
However, it is imperative that you know the rules if you go - otherwise it can get boring. Both teams roller skate around in a cluster; each round, one girl from each team is at the back wearing a star on her helmet. The star girl's goal is to skate her way through the pack (without gettin' THROTTLED!), and depending on how many times she can get through, her team racks up points.
Be prepared for great fund-raising bake sale goodies (like roller-skate shaped cookies) and colourful team names like Dizzy Borden, Hot Lips Cruelihan, or Trippy Longstockings. And the scoregirl is pin-up material for sure.
Get ready to RUMBLE!!
