Carnival of the Strange!
Saturday 21st November saw the Lincolnshire Bombers host the Carnival of the Strange, a roller derby extravaganza!
The family friendly day consisted of two roller derby matches, the first was a battle between two teams of mixed skaters from across the UK, the Children of the Damned vs Las Ninas Muertas. After a well fought, strategic first half, the Children of the Damned managed to power through to lead by 50 points. The second half saw Las Ninas Muertas fight back, with some amazing jams, but unfortunate trips to the penalty box by their scoring jammers, meant that the Children of the Damned took the advantage, hammering the points to a final win of 196 – 63.
Bands, burlesque and a dedicated childrens area filled the time for the audience in between the roller derby action and a fantastic raffle took place, including signed Motorhead goodies, with some of the proceeds gained from the whole day being given to the Nomad Trust.
The second half showcased a thrilling mens roller derby match, for the first time ever in public in the UK! The mens game is a lot faster and at times, a lot more brutal; proof as much was a broken rib quite early on in the game! Team White vs. Team Black was a nail biting match and with huge jumps, takedowns and backwards sprints the game play was exhilarating. The scores changed rapidly, with Team White taking an early lead, Team Black snatching it back and so on. However, after a rollercoaster of a roller derby ride, Team Black took the win, 163 – 144.
The Lincolnshire Bombers Roller Girls want to thank all who took part in an amazing day at Newark Showground and are proud to have played hosts to such an incredible event.
