Challenges
“To get to where we are now we’ve all been on the same
page and we’ve really knuckled down. In order to continue
improving it is going to be even harder work and will require a
lot of dedication. I think therefore our biggest challenge is not
just to want, but also be able to put in the dedication and time
required to get to where we want to go.
We’re totally self-funded at the moment so generating
income will also be important. Roller Derby is huge which
you see when you go to the major tournaments with people
from all around the world but sometimes it can be quite an
insular sport because it doesn’t always attract media coverage.
When it does it can be a little bit like, ‘look at these cool women
on skates!’ within the lifestyle pages and very few sides can
make the sports pages which is what we need. We enjoy the
game, we’ve worked hard to be a successful side and want to
be taken seriously and given the success that we’ve had we feel
we deserve that.”
Ambitions
“We want to continue progressing and to play at the
highest level that we can and so are looking into the possibility
of playing more tournaments abroad. We’re a part of the
Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) which is the
worldwide association of Roller Derby Teams and this year we
entered the top 100 in the world.
