The Brick House Betties and the Coastal Call Monitors are hosting their fourth and final Roller Derby Open Scrimmage of the off-season March 18 in Cumberland.
“This will be the longest and one of the best scrimmages in the series. You definitely don’t want to miss it,” a Brick House Betties spokesperson said. “Two 20-minute periods of low contact followed by three 30-minite periods of full contact. Skaters from nine teams travelling from Powell River, Salt Spring, Vancouver Island and the Mainland will be represented,” the spokesperson added.
“Roller derby is the fastest growing female sport in the world and if you want to understand why you should come out and watch this scrimmage. This is an exciting, fast-paced, full-contact sport.” the spokesperson pointed out.
The CRI doors open at 12 p.m. with the first whistle blowing at 12:30 p.m. Admission is by donation and food bank donations are greatly appreciated.
“If you have not had an opportunity to come out to the Cumberland Rec Institute to watch any of the roller derby scrimmages then this is your last chance,” the spokesperson said. “Can’t make it but you’d like to watch? Thanks to www.loudandalivetv.com you can watch it live.”
