Tesco vs Squat Skating

Yesterday our friends at the Mill Road Social Centre were in court contesting the possession order from Tesco, who own the lease on the premises. Despite being awarded said possession order, significant planning restrictions mean Tesco cannot open a store on the site and were forced to concede in court that they have “no use for the premises” at the present time. Fortunately for Mill Road residents the MRSC have plenty of uses for the premises – including ROLLER DERBY. So we’re training until Tesco bring the heavies in – every little helps.

LRG v Team Canada

Last Saturday we were in London for MUTINY ON THE MOUNTIE – London Rollergirls vs Team Canada in the UK’s first international derby bout. Since derby has been going on for much longer in the US and Canada, and since TC had the derby skills of an entire country at their disposal, we were thinking LRG might finally get their asses whipped. But NO! Despite some brutal plays from Canada, London had the superior skills and strategy. On the other hand, our ace flags may have been the deciding factor.

Team Canada obviously too preoccupied getting their asses in London’s face to notice Sky Rockit sneaking up on the inside for another kick ass jam. We love Sky.
