We’re in the middle of a 3 bout weekends in a row, which is awesome! Last week we played Cork City Firebirds. There’s a bit of a Dublin-Cork rivalry in all sports, including roller derby so I felt like there was a lot of pressure from within the team to win. We won last time but we were aware that they had improve a lot since we last played them. Luckily we took the lead from the start and held onto it. They scored more points than we wanted but we won by a comfortable margin: 172-102 or something similiar. Our reserve team also beat Limerick that day but sadly one of the Limerick girls broke her ankle :( it was also one of my BFFs (I cant help but insert a sarcy ;) when using BFF) first day as head ref! Congrats Mufasta!

Today we’re playing Rainy City! We played their B-team last year and won (before I was on the team, I think I was still Fresh Meat) so we asked for their A team, but they refused. Their coach did manage to convince them to send some of their A team skaters though so it’ll be a mix of A and B which should be interesting! I’m looking forward to it, but sadly my body is not! My back has been giving me trouble since last week and I’ve got a shitty head cold going on! I’ve dosed up on vitamins and A mystery pain reliever pill that Himself has given me. I’m praying it doesn’t have any bad side affects but he checked online so I should be grand! Ive never had an allergic reaction to anything before either (:

After Rainy City today we’re playing London Rockin Rollers next weekend. The whole team is pretty excited as it’s a big game for us. Eeeep!
