Riveter Challenge
In the fall, we scored an undefeated season against Hudson Valley Horrors, Pioneer Valley Roller Derby and Albany All-stars. This season is going to be far more challenging. MRD will have to fight to earn every point and stop the opposing team from scoring.
In just three weeks (April 12), the Port Authorities take on the Rhode Island Riveters, ranked 14 on WFTDA's National Rankings at www.wftda.com.
Let me say that again - the Riveters are ranked 14 on the national chart. MRD isn't even on the chart yet!
The Rhode Island Riveters are no joke. Just look at them. I've seen some of these girls play and they are fierce. Lotta Pain is like a mac truck. Da Silva Bullet is, well, as fast as a damn bullet. Hysterica! is mean as hell. And Craisy Dukes zips through the pack before you knew she even approached it. Read more about the league at www.providencerollerderby.com.
MRD is up for a serious challenge. Although the Port Authorities assembled just a month ago, we are training hard to face this far-more-experienced team.
And let me tell you, our trainer, Olive Spankins, is taking her job seriously. We train three times a week for two hours for endurance, skill and strategy. There are plenty of lunges, speed-skating, planks, push-ups and falling drills to make you puke.
The PAs will put up a strong, skilled fight against the Riveters and this bout will certainly be an on-the-edge-of-your-seat-if-you're-even-sitting throwdown of roller derby madness! We can't wait to show our fans how hard we've been training - and hopefullly score a few wins in the process and put Maine in the WFTDA rankings!
