The Brick House Betties roller derby team hosted a scrimmage against Nanaimo’s Brass Knuckles Derby Dames on Jan. 26.
Scrimmages are learning opportunities to prepare for the competitive bouting season, which starts this May for the Betties. Spectators are welcome at Betties’ scrimmages and entrance is by donation.
The next scrimmage dates are March 16 and 30, starting at 11 a.m. at the CRI in Cumberland. If you are 18 and over and interested in playing roller derby, join the Betties at their next new skater (Fresh Meat) intake and info day on Sunday, March 23 from 9-10:30 a.m. at the CRI.
