This Saturday, November 23rd, our A team the Canny Belters will be taking on Sheffield Steel Roller Girls! The teams last faced each other way back in November 2011 at our home game Thwack To The Future when SSRG took the win 148-96. Over two years later and with big changes to rosters, we are currently ranked number 26 in Europe – just one space below the mighty Sheffield! This should be one VERY close exciting game, and the perfect event to finish our 2013 bouting calendar!

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.
