Daylight Slayings – 24th March 2012 – NRG Whippin’ Hinnies vs. Furness Firecrackers

The skaters

In an exciting double-header event in March, the first bout we were treated to saw the Whippin’ Hinnies face off against the Furness Firecrackers for Daylight Slayings. Formed in Barrow in 2010, the Firecrackers are, much like NRG, rapidly building a solid reputation in the roller derby world, steadily spreading their wings to further regions of the country. The Hinnies went into this bout with a good old-fashioned mix of experienced pros and some shiny derby debuts, and it certainly made for an entertaining and rewarding game.

It was a mixed bag for NRG yesterday at their first home bout of 2012, expectations were high for the Canny Belters after a defeat in their last game, but sadly it wasn’t to be with Glasgow Roller Derby’s Maiden Grrders taking the win 164 – 156. The Canny Belters came out strong and were winning in points for the entire first  half. But with the power changing hands frequently, the balance tipped to GRD in the final few jams of the second half.

Over to the opening game, where the Whippin’ Hinnies brought Newcastle a MASSIVE home win against the Furness Firecrackers with a final score of 137 – 57 .
