Kent Roller Girls in France
Six Kent Roller Girls and their Head Ref travelled over to Rouen, France to take part in The Hundred Jams War on Monday 9th April. Skaters from different leagues around the British Isles were invited to take part and represent the UK against teams made up from French leagues.
Kent Roller Girls had skaters in two of the three teams, A Teams : The Afternoon Tea Stops vs. La Guillo' Team, B Teams : The Stiff Upper Hips vs. The Jams' d'Arc. All three UK Teams won their bouts making it a real victory for British derby.

KRG Victorious at Demolition Derby.
With the south-west wind buffeting down upon the Mayflower Sports Centre, cloaked in Argyle-green, deep in the inauspicious shadow of Home Park, a derby treat of four mini-bouts in knock-out format; and four superb teams travelled from far and wide, lay before us. As the rain fiercely greeted the building's celebratory send-off (the last event before its demolition), inside; the nerves of the unexpected were jangling, playing amongst a quiet confidence. The excitement we felt, justified by the prospect of enthralling derby action.
UKRDA Welcome Kent Roller Girls
Kent Roller Girls was formed in 2010, with their first practice taking place in July of that year. The league is currently the only one in the county of Kent and trainings are spread across the county to try to incorporate as many interested people as possible. We are a 'by the skaters for the skaters' league as most in the UK are, and we encourage all our members to be involved with molding the league and helping it to achieve its short and long term goals.
