JSRG 4th Season Opener - March 26th in Asbury Park!!

The Jersey Shore Roller Girls are at it again! Their 4th season is set to open on March 26th with another powerful display of grace and grit as the Murder Beach Militia take on the Anchor Assassins in Asbury Park's legendary Convention Hall. The bout will be a rematch of last year's nail-biting Championship Bout in which Murder Beach Militia eked out a five point win over the relentless Anchor Assassins. This season opener is sure to deliver 60 minutes of lightning-fast, hard-hitting, heart-pounding Roller Derby action. Don't worry, you'll have a chance to catch your breath during Soup's Internationally Known, Dog Catcher, Silver String, Submarine, All Start Competition Bagpipe Band entertainment and the family-favorite Chuck-A-Duck half-time event.

As always, the Jersey Shore Roller Girls - made up of hard working women from Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, Mercer and surrounding counties - have partnered with a charity for this bout to support and promote a very worthy cause. Representatives from Zonta International will be on hand during the bout to educate attendees about their mission and work. Zonta is a not-for-profit charitable organization that seeks to advance the status of women worldwide through service and advocacy. Learn more about their tireless efforts at www.zonta.org.

The March 26th bout also pairs with the Wonder Bar for the bout after party. Across the street from Convention Hall, the Wonder Bar will offer those bout attendees with a wristband no cover charge. The Roller Girls will be on hand and fully energized for any fans that want to keep the party going. The roller derby bout itself will prove to be another exciting evening of women’s flat-track roller derby. Roller derby is the newest, extreme sport for women rapidly sweeping the nation. Roller derby has been re-vamped into a flat-track version of the old-school style of a bank track. This is the real thing, not an orchestrated match-up.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the first whistle blows at 8 p.m. Advance tickets are available online for $17 at www.jerseyshorerollergirls.net or directly at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/102197.  Tickets are $20 at the door, $15 with military ID and $5 for children.

Aug. 28 bout recap #fb

The Aug. 28 bout between Murder Beach Militia and Right Coast Rollers would determine who would claim a spot in the Season Championship bout this coming November.

Right Coast Rollers led by Bench Managers Rollin’ Rican and Zombicidal Maniac mixed some veterans, debut skaters and borrowed skaters to try to seal the win. Captain Cool Mo T and Co-Captain Bash N. Onya, along with veterans Chelle Be Evil, Malicious Megs, Shermaine Tank, Jack & Choke, and Hot Rod Hussy held the team together while successfully incorporating new comers Molly Stitcher, Dezdemona Lott, Koopa Troopa, and Disco Volante.  Anchor Assassin veterans Joy Kill Her and Belle Maul Her rounded out the roster competing for the coveted championship slot.

Murder Beach Militia Bench Managers Ciri L. Killer and Psychopath Lynn came to the table with a full veteran roster welcoming only one debut skater Quad Complex. Captain and Co-Captain Black Eye Betty and Ricin Beans led the team of skaters including AC Skater, M8T, Nikki Sixx Feet Under, Jersey Violet, Toastface Killah, Trigger Hippie, Chesty McBruiser, Push Popp, Scarlet Destruction, Wicked Kitty and Alabama Whirley. With such a seasoned roster Murder Beach Militia was determined to take this bout and call it a win.

Murder Beach Militia’s Jammer Push Popp grabbed hold of the lead in the first jam with gaining 9 points to Right Coast Rollers 0, was immediately followed up by another jam lead by Murder Beach’s M8T. Right Coast Jammers Chelle Be Evil and Shermaine Tank took lead in the next two jams bringing the score to Murder Beach 14 to Right Coast 8.

Push Popp gained lead jammer next go around with the help of her blockers Jersey Violet and Chesty McBruiser who made a Murder Beach jam sandwich with Right Coast jammer Joy Kill Her in the middle.
Murder Beach jammer M8T continued the trend as lead jammer, as the debut was made by Murder Beach Quad Complex.  Push Popp, M8T and Ricin Beans continually grabbed lead jammer making Murder Beach the leaders with 34 to only 8 for Right Coast.

Chelle Be Evil was able to take the lead in the next bout bumping up Right Coast to 12 points. But Murder Beach’s M8T made the way to lead again, with Right Coast jammer Shermaine Tank in the penalty box, only after M8T was taken down by Malicious Megs and Hot Rod Hussy, and then Tank halted by Chesty McBruiser bringing Murder Beach to 49 points to 13 for Right Coast.

Murder Beach’s Push Popp grabbed lead jammer with the help of Scarlet Destruction who took out Right Coast Roller jammer Shermaine Tank. Push Popp also helped herself out by hitting Right Coast’s Dezdemona Lott out her way.

With a tradeoff of lead jammer between Murder Beach’s Push Popp and Right Coast’s Shermaine Tank in the next few jams the score was brought to 63 Murder Beach to 30 Right Coast.

Twelve points were gained by Murder Beach’s M8T in the next jam as Right Coast Rollers had 2 blockers and their jammer Chelle Be Evil all in the box.  Push Popp added to that 12 in the next jam bringing the score to 79 to 32 for Murder Beach.

Taking turns in the box, Murder Beach then had 2 blockers and 1 jammer in the next jam allowing Chelle Be Evil of Right Coast to take lead jammer and score a grand slam. Black Eye Betty tried her best to hold Chelle Be Evil’s points down by knocking her out of bounds and strategically keeping her out of bounds for a few seconds, ending the first half with a score of 79 to 37 with Murder Beach holding the lead.

The second half found us with many shorter jams as most were called off by lead jammer before the 2 minute clock had run down.  Trading off lead jammer status for several jams Murder Beach and Right Coast brought the score to 89 to 44 respectively.

Murder Beach jammer M8T took lead jammer in the next few jams but also endured a couple of takedowns by both opposing jammer Shermaine Tank and Right Coast Blocker Malicious Megs.  AC Skater debuted as jammer for Murder Beach Militia bringing the score to 108 Murder Beach to 63 for Right Coast.

Push Popp and Shermaine Tank traded off lead jammer for the next few jams with Hot Rod Hussy legally taking out Push Popp at her last time of the bout as lead jammer. Murder Beach’s Wicked Kitty debuted as jammer, grabbed hold of lead jammer and racked up 10 points in well under 2 minutes as she called off the jam before the whistle. The score was now Murder Beach to Right Coast 134 to 77 respectively.

The final few jams found some players in the penalty box leaving only jammer Shermaine Tank to gain points for Right Coast. Then with no Murder Beach jammer again, Chelle Be Evil was able to tighten the gap to 134 Murder Beach to 93 Right Coast.

And in the final jam of the bout as soon as M8T of Murder Beach Militia snagged lead jammer she strategically called off the jam not allowing Right Coast jammer Shermaine Tank any time to gain any more points. After some hard hitting action from both teams the final score of this very important match up was Murder Beach Militia 134 to Right Coast Rollers 93.
