B…..B……B….BOUT DAY 1 !!

THAT’S RIGHT ITS BOUT DAY and SWSR have just played our very first TGSS Bout against the wonderful ladies of East Vic "The Witches of East Vic" Decked out in our hot pink uniform, which contrasted nicely against East Vics Purple, we were a colourful game to watch on the track.
And what a remarkable bout it was, with a group of amazing skaters from East Vic, who kept us on our toes for both halves, creating walls of steel, it was one fun close game, such an exciting bout to be a part of, and SWSR can not thank the ladies of Adelaide and all the volunteers involved in putting on such an awesome event for us to be able skate in.
With Temperatures almost at zero in the convention centre and with half of the Rockettes feeling sick, we knew the bout was not going o be an easy one. East Vic proved from the very first jam that SWSR would have its work cut out for them, with every needing to pitch in on the track we put on some experienced and first time SWSR jammers, with Lil Tamtrum, Hannesthetic, Verruca Bazooka, Kimakaze, Meliminateher, Tracy Cyclone and Melraiser all getting a go, our blockers (which also includes our jammers above) Killawatts, Shelby Unkonshus, Britney Speartackle, Frocky Horror, She-Riff, Faye Tallity and Delora Gravity all worked together to represent South West Sydney and Roller Derby in our region, and we did a fantastic job. watched live and cheered on by many fans who witnessed the live bout coverage on DNN, we received some great feedback.
Every skater who participated in the days bouts, our support crew, and especially our benchies all did an amazing job. Breaking up walls, holding the inside and keeping there heads in the game despite some questionable ref calls. The East Vic girls put on a hard fight, and should be congratulated for there effort, we cant wait to meet you lovely ladies on the track again one day very soon, and get down and derby <3
There were a lot of thrills and spills and tumbles throughout the bout, with some great photos being taken of bout day.
