Highlights from the Oct. 26th Bout - Pair O' Dice City Rollers vs. Worcester Warheads

Starting off the line...

This past Sunday was POD's final game of the 2014 season. Though we lost, we were playing against Worcester Roller Derby's Warheads and the Worcester Roller Derby Organization is a WFTDA League so they strive to play competitively at the national level. POD as a team takes the attitude that we do our best in every game and if we can give these ladies a run for their money then we're doing just fine! As always, POD grew stronger as the game progressed and we showed WoRD in the end that we just won't quit.

In fact, during the game we built some beautiful walls!!

Vixen, Ballistic Miss L, and the Italian Assassin holding strong.

Suga Burn, Donny Brook, and Meryl Creep hold off the opposing jammer.

Astra Knot, Vicious Aloysuis, and Meryl Creep brace for impact.

We gave and took some great hits!

Astra Knot (in her first game back since breaking her leg...)
gives it good to the opposing jammer.

Ballistic Miss L takes out the opposing jammer, while also making room
for Vixen, POD's jammer, to squeak through.

Haulin' Sass takes a lickin' and keeps on kickin'

We worked to play strongly both offensively and defensively, utilizing strategies we've been working on for the last few months in practice.

Astra Knot sweeps their line to make a hole for jammer, Suga Burn, to sneak through.

The Italian Assassin helps to hold up one of WoRD's blockers
while POD jammer, Vixen, just edges past another player.

While POD jammer, Killer Kush, fights to get by, the POD blockers
reform a solid wall, ready for the WoRD jammer to try to come through.

After a successful star pass, one of PODs blockers,
Vicious Aloysius, becomes jammer and proves she can hold her own.

Though the final score doesn't necessarily reflect it, POD's jammers turned things up a notch in the second half, including one final jam by Vixen, who scored a whopping 25 points in that jam alone!

Highlights from the Sept. 7, 2014 Bout - Pair O' Dice City Rollers vs. Elm City Derby Damez

Jammer Donny Brook races out of the pack!

Last Sunday, we played our second game of the season against the Elm City Derby Damez. This home game went really well, and though we lost, it wasn't by too much, and we played really strongly as a team! Here are some of the highlights:

Final Score: POD 173 to EC 219

Jammer Donny Brook working her way through the pack!

Jammer Von Wolfe looks ahead for a clear path.

The game MVPs.
Congrats Meryl Creep and Pandora's Squeezebox from POD
and Mongol and Don't Care Bear from Elm City!

In this game, POD's jammers, pivots, and blockers alike could all feel the difference in how much more easily we worked as a team. In the three months since our away game with Elm City, the team worked hard on strategy, communication, and endurance...and it showed. If you weren't at the game, you'll have to come see the next home game on October 26th to experience it for yourself!

Pair O' Dice City Rollers vs. Elm City Derby Damez 6-14-14

This past weekend the Pair O' Dice City Rollers played against the Elm City Derby Damez. POD roster was all official POD team players and Elm City played about 2 guests because their roster is a bit short. It was a fun game. Lots of jammer on jammer action. Kill Bitch Enrage was the MVP player for Elm City. It's no surprise with the way she kept working the POD jammers. Her MO is to jam and then if her rival jammer gets out near her, she will play her until she pushes her out of bounds and then she will pull her back behind the pack if possible. She did this multiple times to POD during this game. However, when she tried to do it to Macrum, it didn't work! Macrum put forth a great fight during one such jammer on jammer conflict. (you can see the jammer video clip - 2nd one right below)

Overall it is always enjoyable to play against Elm City. Great bunch of gals!!

MVP Macrum!
