Living Dead Rollers take on Timaru Derby Dames in Canterbury Clash

Kicking off our season with a provincial bust up, Dead End Derby's Living Dead Rollers take on the Timaru Derby Dames on Saturday 11th March at 7pm at Cowles Stadium.

Following an unbeaten season in 2016, Living Dead Rollers look set to continue their winning streak and have their sights set on Timaru. But the South Canterbury team have no plans to make it easy for the Christchurch team this time around. The Dames formed in 2013 and ended the 2016 season with a strong victory against River City Rollers in Whanganui.

Roller derby is a contact sport. It is played by two teams of 5 players in a game of two 30-minute halves. A designated jammer from each team has to race through the pack and score points by lapping members of the opposing team. The game is made up of small jams which can run for up to 2 minutes, so players need to be able to use speed, offence and defence tactics in order to win.
