RRR vs. Midwest Derby Divas . . . skate your heart out!!!!!

Region Rat Rollers

I am very proud to know the ladies of RRR (Region Rat Rollers). I would call them my friend any day, and at the same time, would think twice about coming across them in a dark alley. The RRR gave it their all today, all the way to the end. Funny part, I did not even know it ended . . . I thought another time out was called. I was still cranked, wanting to see more action, more of their art, their individual personalities, their team play, their never giving up. It was very enjoyable to watch and photograph. They are an inspiration to "never give up"!!!!

This bout benefit was "saluting our troops and supporting the Warriors First Foundation . . ." These ladies do this for free, for fun, to challenge themselves, and to entertain us. When they get a chance, they do it to benefit a cause.

Warm up . . .

Recognition . . .

Well, being new to photography, I do understand the need to be organized. I believe I missed some jersey photos. I will do better next time. I think I will need to ask for a list of names who will be skating so I can make a checklist!!!!

GRRR . . . ready ree roy???

I love the tenacity of the RRR in these next three photos. "Oh no you don't . . . "    lol

Half time . . .

Second half . . .

 

 

Bout over. We did not win the bout, but we one our pride, good health, well being, so we can bout another day!!!!!! You have to love the pride, the time and effort put into this roller derby, that each lady from each team puts forth. This is all volunteer. Their reward . . . the challenge!

Here are some photos after the bout.

Please come out and support these ladies, our region, the benefit for the event.  We need to support and honor everyone who puts forth an effort to improve the world we live in.  The RRR help in that.  They are warriors in their own right too.  They battle for pride, and for a good cause.  I think one day I would like to see one of the local bands help out, like the Nomad Planets, The Steepwater Band, the Loyal Plastic Robots, The Bergamot, and the list goes on.
