Saturday night was a fantastic night, and derby was in high gear! From the minute I walked in with a Pinups shirt on, I knew all hell would break loose! I got an email asking me if I would rock a green shirt, no other emails came in asking if I would wear any other type of shirt, so I went with the green. By wearing that shirt, I received a lot of  mushed up faces, and a lot of hugs! I must say Aaron Bonk is freaking nuts, that was a crazy performance with those knives! I did not get the chance to see him last year (the only bout I have missed), so it was a pleasure to get to see a good friend do something he loves, in front of so many!

Pinups vs Steamers

Holy technical, low scoring, clock killing game! At the start, the Steamers came out strong, racking up 10 un-answered points. However the Pinups were able to chisel into that lead with 3 un-answered jams of their own. Killy and Cupquake took lead jammer often and help keep the game close. However, the Pinups had some major jams in the first half by Boots, Pixie, Soulie, and Take-Out. By the time the game went into half time, awkwardly with a jam starting but not finishing? The score was 28 – 19 with the Pinups holding a 9 point lead over the Steamers. Personally I feel X-Rated had one of her best games on the track, she hit hard, she hit often, she surely brought her A game for this bout. The Steamers look to be taking heavy shots at Take-Out every time she was on the track however, she responded back by putting some monstrous jams, and racking some major points for the Pinups. As the second half took shape, the Pinups kept their momentum as they widened the gap on the Steamers. Seeing all the various Pinups playing well in multiple positions extremely well, just goes to show how multi-faceted this team truly is. As the lead grew sizable, they quickly went into time killing mode, while may not be the most exciting to watch, was the smartest game-play on the track. Numerous clock draining jams, great jammer stall blocking, made it difficult for the Steamers to get the game moving again. In the end the Pinups are heading to the Hazard Cup with a great strategical performance over the Steamers 57-35.

Bombers vs Knockers

This bout started out with bodies flopping everywhere, we need a live DJ for time like this so they can play “let the bodies hit the floor” that would have been bad ass. None the less, it was insane to see how many pileups were taking place and some heavy hits being landed out there. The Hellbombers brought their A game 100 percent and the Knockers just could not get things to work in their favor. As the Bombers jammed all their powerhouse jammers, it feels like the Knockers are still trying to figure out who will be their jammer to help get things back on track. This bout they brought out Molitov Hot-Tail who is a seasoned veteran, and a hell of a skater, who skated well, but the Bombers defense was just too much to break through. Ida Bitter and Stroker Ace were just on fire that night, but really I would like to point out that all that priming that the Bombers have forced onto Eduskater, has really paid off, though she may not feel like it, she played very well. She had some tough jams where she had to really work hard to get lead, and has really came a long way in a short time. The Bombers decided that this bout they would turn up the heat and just score point after point, it was astonishing to watch! But the night truly belongs to one person, the Burrito Sheriff herself, Morbie!! I finally got my wish and more than could have ever bargained for, Morbid vs Milf on the jam line, Milf takes lead and falls right after, Milf does not know she is lead, and gets sent to the box, Morbid is stuck in to jam the full two minutes. Morbid Cherub scores 9 points, history is made! See it for yourself!
All in all it was a tough night for the Knockers, I surely hope they can start getting back to being the team everyone knows they can be. Huge night for the Hellbombers who may have used this bout to show the Pinups just how powerful they are, well played ladies, well played.
