The Canny Belters were victorious for the second time in eight days, beating a team ranked higher than them.

The Belters won 142 – 120 over Manachester Roller Derby’s Checker Broads fully cementing their status just outside of the top 30.

Predicted score: Newcastle 150 : 155 Manchester

Actual score: Newcastle 142 : 120 Manchester

A narrow win for home team moving the Belters up to 31, Manchester drop down to 33 as a result of this game.

• NRG Best Blocker – Anita B Nasty
• NRG Best Jammer – Penny Bizarre
• NRG MVP – Kalamity James
• MRD Best Blocker – Kerried Alive
• MRD Best Jammer – Gogo Chanel
• MRD MVP – Reid

The Canny Belters took the win in a nailbiting game against Seaside Sirens from Southend-on-Sea 153-151 in Block to School Part 1.

Most notably the Belters went into the final jam behind, the score standing at 228-251 to the Sirens, but a HUGE powerjam from Gin and Sonic saw her bring home 25 points and the win. Head over to Facebook here to see that final jam in it’s entirety!

The Belters went into the game as underdogs at 33 in the rankings but with the Sirens only two places ahead at 31 it was always going to be a close one, and as we know in roller derby, anything can happen on the day!

The Belters 153-151 win means they remain at 33 in the Derby Data Europe rankings and the Sirens move down one place to 32.

Awards for NRG

• Best jammer Gin and Sonic
