Kent Roller Girls currently sit top of their division in this year’s British Roller Derby Championships following a decisive win last weekend, away to Bath.

KRG are looking strong in the run up to their big home game against Surrey in Herne Bay on 21 May.

Kent and Bath hadn’t met before as Bath were promoted from Division 4 after last season. Both teams took a few jams to get into their rhythm but Kent started strongly with an opening 5 points from jammer, Vikispeedia.

Kent picked up their momentum in the first half and continued to dominate despite Bath’s tenacity, ending the second half 195-27 to Kent.

Bath rallied at the beginning of the second half, looking threatening against Kent’s defence. A strategic timeout from Kent bench coach, Demi Lition, got the initiative back for Kent.

The game ended on an impressive 306-95 to Kent. The large score differential put them top of the table, ahead of Cornwall who Kent face in the final weekend of the Championships.

Kent’s next Championships game is at home in Herne Bay on 21 May against the formidable Surrey. Surrey looked impressive against Plymouth this weekend, snatching a narrow victory, so the match-up between the county teams promises to be exciting.

Tickets are now available for the game, which is a double-header also featuring Cornwall vs Grin n Barum from North Devon.

Roller derby games are a fantastic family day out with fast action sport, halftime games and prizes to be won.
