Sport / Roller Derby / "Skate Highway One", Richter City Roller Derby v Pirate City Rollers
Selected Photos
"Skate Highway One" was New Zealand's first ever inter-league roller derby bout and was held at the TSB Bank Arena, Wellington, on Saturday 5 December.
The local Richter City Roller Derby "All Stars" hosted Auckland's Pirate City Rollers "All Scars" to determine which city out of Wellington and Auckland can boast the best skaters.
Unfortunately for Wellington, the Pirate City Rollers demonstrated too much skill, teamwork and speed and outmatched the Richter City crew 174-88.
Despite the Aucklanders' domination, the Wellington crowd never let up, applauding on their beloved Richter City right down to the final whistle. On the whole, the evening was an exercise in general awesomeness.
And I'm sure the Richter City league will be all the better for this experience, and will be back stronger than ever next year. The re-match will be a cracker.
Roll on (heh heh) 2010!
(Oh, and check out Jed's photos of the night.)
