The bout started with a whistle and a bang with Right Coast Roller jammer Chelle Be Evil taking the lead jammer status in under 30 seconds gaining 6 points to the Anchor Assassin’s 5 points. In no time though, Anchor Assassin jammer Dodge AWOL quickly gained the lead for her team in the second jam. Anchor Assassins were able to keep hold of that lead for a good 15 crowd cheering minutes. The tides turned at the 15 minute mark as Chelle Be Evil from the Right Coast Rollers scored a grand slam by lapping opposing jammer Ciri L. Killer making the score 25 to 21 for Right Coast Rollers. Right Coast held onto the lead for a bit until borrowed Murder Beach Militia teammate Push Popp, acting as Jammer for Anchor Assassins, closed the gap making it 28 to 29 with Anchor Assassins leading by 1 point.

Seven minutes left to the first half and Jammer Ciri L. Killer got sent to the box for low blocking leaving only the Right Coast Jammer Ricin Beans to take the lead making the score 46 to 32 with Right Coast in the lead. But Ciri L. Killer at just over 2 minutes left to the first half scored her own grand slam and closed the gap making the score 46 RCR to 41 AA. The last few minutes of the first half were as exciting as the first, with a jam by Ciri L. Killer ending the half with a whopping 10 points shooting Anchor Assassin to the lead with a score of 46 to 51.

Both teams levied big hits and formidable booty blocks in the second half. Anchor’s Lita Floor Her and Right Coast’s Hot Rod Hussy each had tremendous plays for offense and defense, pushing opponents out of bounds or off their feet. Walls of blockers held back opponents for some exciting strategy and game play. At the beginning of the second half, the score remained within points of each other. Anchor Assassins would take the lead only to have Right Coast Rollers fill it in again in the next jam, and this continued until about 10 minutes into the last half. Jammer Chelle Be Evil got put in the box for cutting the track leaving only Ciri L. Killer to dart around Right Coast blockers. With only one jammer out there Anchor Assassins were able to move the lead up to 13 points, making the score 55 to 68 for Anchors. Next jam starts with Chelle Be Evil still in box leaving AWOL for the Anchor Assassins to gain more points. From here on in it was the Right Coast Rollers playing catch up. At one point with the help of borrowed Jammer Push Popp the gap was 25 points in favor of Anchors, the largest gap of the bout so far.

Anchor Assassins’ jammers Push Popp and Ciri L. Killer, both with grand slams, widened the gap to 28. This was not the end for Right Coast Rollers as they tossed blocker turned jammer HotRod Hussy into the mix. Right Coast continued to steadily gain more points to minimize that spread. But in the end it was the Anchor Assassins that prevailed with a final score of 125 to 97.

It was an awesome match up, with skating and teamwork that brought the crowd to their feet several times throughout the night. And it would prove historic for the Anchor Assassins.

Anchors immediately celebrated their first victory with a pile-up of team mates on the track and a celebratory dip in the Atlantic Ocean with the corks popped on the Champagne as Right Coast congratulated their opponents and league-mates in this exciting match-up.

Next two games which are sure to bring more excitement are scheduled for July 24 which is JSRG All Stars against Dutchland, and an August 28 matchup between Murder Beach Militia and Right Coast Rollers.
