All Star Reserves v Oxford Roller Derby!

PRESS RELEASE:

BIG hits and speedy skating will be on display as Edinburgh’s all-women roller derby team takes on rivals from Oxford.

Auld Reekie Roller Girls’ All-Star Reserves hope to hit, whip and skate their way to victory against Oxford Roller Derby.

All Star Reserves’ captain Kiki said her team was confident after a decisive win against Sweden’s Crime City Rollers in November.

Kiki said:

“We’re looking forward to this game. We’re hoping that all the hard work we put into training in 2014 – combined with a wee rest over Christmas – will pay off. We’ll give Oxford a run for their money.”

However, the Oxford team comes fresh from  battling it out at the the Heartland Series tournament of 24 English and Welsh teams.

They are sure to bring their new skills and strategy to their game against Auld Reekie in a fast and fierce demonstration of athleticism on wheels.

The All-Star Reserves hope to get loud support from the Edinburgh crowd on their home ground at Meadowbank Sports centre.

Supporters can also snap up merchandise and tuck into home-made cakes at the game on Saturday, January 31st, from 2pm.

Tickets for Auld Reekie Roller Girls’ All Star Reserves vs Oxford Roller Derby are £8 on the door or £7 from the Brown Paper Tickets website.

Free entry for children aged under 14.
