The now well established Five by Five (55) Roller Derby Championship, is a six month round robin roller derby tournament.
Now in its 7th year, the 55 features 12 teams across three divisions (Armageddon, Battlegrounds and Cataclysm) battling it out for not one, but three trophies - plus NSW roller derby supremacy.
A shuffling of division brackets sees the Free Sisters competing in Battlegrounds in 2019. Their fierce, but friendly, opponents this year include teams from the Central Coast and Western Sydney.
The Free Sisters are enjoying a wave of new 'up and coming' skaters, and mixed with seasoned veterans, will ensure an exciting tournament with this new look team.
BMRDL president, Rapid Dash, urged anyone interested in the fastest growing full contact sport for women in Australia, to take this opportunity to come along and check out these competitive teams in action.
Tickets will be available at the door and all are welcome.
Doors open from 1.30pm with the first bout commencing at 2pm. There will be three bouts across the afternoon with teams travelling from as far afield as Newcastle, Maitland, Wollongong and the Northern Beaches to compete.
BMRDL will be battling it out with a combined Central Coast and South Side team at 4pm. Make sure you're there to cheer on the Free Sisters.
Starting in May, BMRDL will be running an Introduction to Roller Derby rogram for anyone interested in getting involved in roller derby - as skaters, referees and/or officials. No skating experience is necessary.
