tigerbaybrawlers: As a self-funded team we’re always trying to think of ways to help our finances so that we can still put on bouts, events, travel to away games etc. We’re conscious that money is tight for everyone at the moment (not even us Brawlers can beat an economic down turn) but we found a way to try and assist our fundraising efforts without costing you – our glorious fans – an extra...

Yay Roller Derby!: 6 Habits of Highly Effective... →

kittydecapitate: I have been thinking a lot lately about what makes a great derby player. Sure; athletic, strong, agile, smart, good speed control….but I don’t really mean the physical skills here…I am talking about what characteristics allow someone to train hard in order to gain the physical skills required of… This is great.

Watch

tigerbaybrawlers: Tiger Bay Brawlers on BBC Sport Wales, Friday 4 November 2011 featuring interviews with BB Bombshell and Boba Fettish. This was broadcast on a programme dedicated to sport, shown at a primetime slot on a national TV station; a massive deal to us and giant leap towards getting roller derby the recognition it deserves. This feature reallys puts roller derby on the map in Wales.

Today has been a real swell day. I won a 250gb XBOX 360 with kinect. Things are looking up on the job prospect front. I won MVP for my team during yesterday’s hard fought game. and I’m making some mean cheese and onion rolls with olives. Oh and a little bird told a fellow coach that I was a force to be reckoned with. Thank you anonymous tipster, you make me really happy.

Success!

I have a weak spot for cute things, so much so that I thought I was going to break when I saw the baby seal on Frozen Planet. I believe my craving for cuteness is why there are 11 degus living in my house, When I see degus up for adoption, I have to rescue them, especially if they’re on their own. The most recent addition to the Esparcieux-Butler household is a little guy called Penda. A...

Celebrating 10

In honour of playing my tenth open-door roller derby game, here is a run down of the bouts leading up to my double figures. 1. Tiger Bay Brawlers vs Bristol Harbour Harlots. Our first game, I don’t think I played very well but I scored points and my points differential was very good. Only gave away one power jam but my blocking was poor. For a first game and debuting a new team, I think we...
