Love Smack review!
The day kicked off with the Team Black Vs Team White Bout. Both teams were made up from skaters from around the UK, some of who had never taken part in a closed bout. Despite the unfamiliarity of the teams and some inexperience, the team both played their knee high socks off. All the way through the scores were close, with the biggest point difference of the entire bout being just under 30 points and neither team wanted to give in. Most of these ladies may not have actually played for their own teams yet in an open bout but judging by the way they played they definitely want to, soon! Final Score was 145-155 to Team Black.
The main bout of the day LBRG vs CCR kicked off a short time later. CCR were the more experienced team and coming in still riding the glory from their victory at Leeds just two weeks before there were no doubt the favourite to win this match, After all this was only LBRG’s second match. CCR lived up to the expectations at took the win but LBRG made them fight for it. If anyone had thought that CCR would walk all over the newer team they couldn’t have been more wrong. Both teams played to such a high standard. CCR took the lead very early on but LBRG scores crept up right behind them. The second half was just as exciting, with LBRG getting into game even more and at one point stopping CCR jammers from scoring for 4 jams. Both teams showed high levels of skill and teamwork and neither came off the track disappointed by their performance. Final Score 79-130 to CCR.
LBRG would like to say a big thanks to CCR, all the skaters for Black vs White, the referee’s, the photographers and everyone who came to watch.
