Weekend of August 28

On Saturday 8/28 the Roller Rebels headed up North for the last road trip of the 2010 season to take on the Ithaca Suffrajets. Having come off the road on 2 recent losses, the Rebels had wanted nothing more than to end the 2010 All-Star season with a bang! Having only 10 skaters rostered for this bout: Captain Morgan, Amaretto Sourpuss, Violet KnockOut, Carnaga Electra, Cyanide Kisses, D-Ball, Celtic Thunder, Whiskey Lullabye, Breakneck Brie and returning skater, Anna Tramp, the Rebels came out on top with a final score of 155-122. Congratulations to the Roller Rebels All-Stars on a fantastic 2010 Travel season!

Weekend of August 14-15

After an exhausting bout played between the Thundercats and the Ladies of Laceration on Saturday 8/14, a mish mosh of skaters from the Roller Rebels took a 4 hour trip the next morning to Wilkes-Barre PA to take on the Scranton Roller Radicals in a full length action packed bout. The Roller Rebels were tired and exhausted, and short in numbers, with a roster of 8 skaters, the Roller Rebels took to the track. The 8 fire breathing derby filled skaters played there hearts out, playing 4-8 jams in a row, jamming and blocking back to back with no questions asked. In the end these 8 Roller Rebels: Jamaican Kush #1/2oz, St. Zombie's Fire #36DD, Whiskey Lullabye #001, Carnage Electra #101, Smurfetish #227, Anna Tramp #138 and Captains Amaretto Sourpuss #214 and Violet KnockOut #4 came out with the win 159-118. Congratulations Roller Rebels!

Weekend of June 26-27 :: ECE

This year the Long Island Roller Rebels traveled to Feasterville, PA to the annual East Coast Derby Extravaganza, where over 50 teams internationally represented on and off the track. With over 30 WFTDA sanctioned bouts, the Roller Rebels were lost in the action, not to mention spent some sweet time by the outdoor pool party, hosted by none other than Point N. Shoot, who made sure to bring the party in a blender! The Roller Rebels were accepted to play one thirty-minute challenge bout against team rivals, the Jersey Shore Roller Girls. Only this time the Roller Rebels came out on top with a final score of 65-30.

Saturday June 12^th 2010

On Saturday June 12th 2010 the Long Island Roller Rebels All-Stars traveled to Lehigh Valley PA to take on the Lehigh Valley Roller Girls. These two teams had met previously on the track in 2008, the LIRR falling short of a victory, this time things would be different. The game looked grim for the Rebels with team Captain on the bench and only after 5 minutes the score displayed 24-0, in favor of the home team. By the end of the second half the Roller Rebels caught on to the strategic play and main jammer, V-Diva, and turned the score around, ending the 1st half in the lead 67-65. In the second half the Rebels came out stronger, not allowing LVRG to get ahead even once. By the end of the bout the score stood 171-137 in favor of the Rebels. This is the 4th win in a row for the Roller Rebels All-Stars, all wins have been taken on the road. The 2010 season record for the All-Stars stands 4-2. Next up, the All-Stars take on their first WFTDA sanctioned bout of the season down in Richmond VA against the River City Rollergirls on July 24th.

April 24^th 2010

On Saturday April 24th the Roller Rebels All-Stars traveled up north to take on the Albany All-Stars in our state capital. Held at the state Armory with an outstanding crowd of over 1,000 cheering fans, the Rebels stole their hearts by the end of the third period. While the rest of the bout was played by standard WFTDA rules, this bout was played old-school style in 3 twenty minute periods of play. The Rebels took the lead quickly in the first jam, when C-Roll outscored Dottie Damage 10-0. With a strong defense it didn't take long for rebel jammers C-Roll, Amaretto Sourpuss and Celtic Thunder to put multiple points on the board. The Albany announcer, Moe, proclaimed C-Roll was the first jammer at their venue to put up the most points in one jam, with a 16pt jam in the second period. With a final score of 134-90, the Rebels All-Stars take there first win of the season on the road. The travel team heads up north again on May 8th when they take on Roc City in Rochester, NY.

April 17^th 2010

On Saturday April 17th the Roller Rebels took on the Western Mass Destruction of Pioneer Valley Roller Derby. This bout followed a Men’s derby sanctioned bout between the men of the New York Shock Exchange and the men of PVRD, The Dirty Dozen, hosted by the Long Island Roller Rebels. In an extremely close bout, the NYSE ended up keeping their undefeated regime. The bout was fought hard between these 2 very competitive teams and would continue on with the ladies. While these men’s teams have been extremely familiar in the past on the track, the ladies had never met before.

At the end of the first half the score left on the board was a mere 51 to 45 in favor of Western Mass. Lead jammer status was split up among both teams equally in the first half, but the Rebels penalties seemed to have caught on in the second half. Just 6 points under par and back with a vengeance, the Roller Rebels came out strong, with outstanding blocking by Violet KnockOut, later to be dismissed from the bout with several minutes left on the clock, for too many turns in the box. The Rebels were neck in neck with the ladies of PVRD for the remainder of the bout, at one point coming back from a 22-point deficit. With only 4 minutes left, the score stood at 101 Rebels to 100 WMD. But tragedy struck when jammer Celtic Thunder of the Rebels was sent to the box for a major cutting the track, giving the WMD a break to score 15 points. With a final score of 120 to 105, the Rebels suffered another tough loss. The highest scoring jammer for the bout was C-Roll, wrapping up the majority of the Rebels score with 60 points.

March 13^th 2010

On Saturday March 13th the Long Island Roller Rebels started the season by taking on the Jersey Shore Roller Girls in front of a sold out crowd of over 1,000 screaming fans! The battle between these two teams, ended in defeat for the Rebels, with a final score of 165 to 163. From the start of the first whistle, blown by Carol Di Salvo, a former blocker for the NY Chiefs in the early 1950’s, the Rebels fought for their position on the track. The Rebels last faced the ladies from Jersey Shore back in April of 2009. With a hard loss by 50 points and also the loss of team Captain, Captain Morgan, due to a knee injury which later took her out for the entire 2009 season, the Roller Rebels were more than excited to take on the JSRG on their home track. But not everything was as the Rebels had hoped on this night. Star jammer C-Roll, was missed the entire first 30 minutes of the bout due to a broken skate. While this affected the Rebels line up, jammers Amaretto Sourpuss and Celtic Thunder stepped up their game to pitch in jamming every other jam. The Rebels had the lead most of first half, thanks to aggressive blocking by Captain Morgan, Chest Blockwell, Raven Madd and Violet KnockOut. Then tragedy struck again at the end of the first period, when Chest Blockwell slammed two Jersey Shore girls to the ground, in the process-spraining her ankle, giving jammer Celtic Thunder the opportunity to score 14 points. Halftime ended with Jersey Shore in the lead 83 to 82.

The Rebels, being notorious for coming back harder in the second half, did put up a good fight, but unfortunately fell short to this Jersey Shore team. While packing on the penalties, and more jams seen with only 2 blockers on the track, than not, the Rebels fell just short of the win. Not before a re-adding of the scores was in order, just to confirm the 2 point win. The Rebels began their 5th season with a lesson. Fight hard, work together and never give up. Watch these brave gals step up to yet another battle on April 17th against Pioneer Valley Roller Derby. Check out the double header, which will be featuring the men of Pioneer Valley and The New York Shock Exchange. Doors open at 5:30pm. Whistle for the men’s bout is at 6:30pm.

The Long Island Roller Rebels sunk the Molly Rogers Roller Girls’ ship Saturday, November 14th, with a final score of 148 to 126, sending the Molly Girls …back on down to Florida.

From the start of the first whistle, blown by Nassau County Town Supervisor Kate Murray, both teams spent a lot of time on the floor; giving and taking hits, shoves, falls and pileups. What looked like a mosh-pit for the first three jams, ended up like a derby match thereafter. The Rebels built some walls, but that didn’t stop the Molly Rogers from sneaking on the inside every time, racking up their points. The entire game was neck-and-neck, with the Molly Rogers’ strongest jammer, Bash N Carrie, fighting through every jam like it was her last.

The Rebels’ star jammers, Amarretto Sourpuss and C-Roll, had to work very hard as they rotated every other jam and were on their own most of the time (either due to their teammates receiving penalties or just a lack of creating a solid pack). Both teams had a very spread out pack, resulting in most blockers having to fend for themselves. In derby, we all know staying with your buddy in the pack makes for a solid defense. In this case, both teams were not on the ball. Needless to say, Amaretto Sourpuss and C-Roll did not let the points escape them.

As always, after half-time, the Rebels played harder and more aggressively to maintain their positions on the track. There were some solid plays by the Rebels’ pivot, Violet Knockout, and blocker, Hard Cory, who fought hard for their positions in the front of the pack. Again pack status is extremely important as the team who controls the pack, usually wins. With seven minutes left on the board, the score was 117 to 111 with Molly Rogers in the lead. Fans were cheering uncontrollably for the Rebels to obtain victory, but it was a close call.

Shortly thereafter, Molly Rogers’ star jammer, Bash N Carrie, was ejected along with Rebels blocker, Ninja Starr for unsportsmanlike conduct, allowing C-Roll to own the rest of the game. C-Roll put on a great showstopper as she leapt over the final pileups, contributing to the final 22 point lead! And with that, the Rebels win their final home game of the season!

Ding Dong The Witch is Dead

Thundercats Remain Undefeated!

The Wicked Wheelers and Rolling Thundercats met for the last time this season on Saturday, October 24th. The Championship Brawl was a duel; who would be taking home the 2009 Joy Cup?

What a fight to the finish!!! The Thundercats and the Wheelers went point-for-point in the first several jams, making it a tight bout. Serious hitting was seen from borrowed Ladies, D-Ball and Violet Knockout, which eventually led to Knock Out’s ejection in the first half.

But that didn’t stop the Wheelers from stomping on Thundercats’ star jammer, C-Roll, who landed herself in the penalty box on several occasions for cutting the track, which allowed the Wheelers to take control. The half-time score was 65 to 47 with the Wheelers in the lead….

In the second half, the Thundercats refused to let the Wheelers take the front of the pack, building their walls immediately to hold the Wheelers back. Great efforts from pivots Tailgunner Flo and Freudy N. Slip made this possible. Jammer Celtic Thunder, used her own strategy of hitting the opposing jammer out-of-bounds so that they could not obtain lead jammer status. Celtic put up at least four points per jam, while allowing C-Roll to rack up the majority. Blockers Raven Madd, Chest Blockwell, Mean Frostine and Serial Mom, fought strong to keep the Wheelers’ strongest blockers, MadDonna, Hard Cory and Northern ExposeHer, off their jammers. The score was close, right down to the last 11 minutes when the score was tied at 88. The Thundercats pushed ahead with several points each remaining jam, while simultaneously not allowing the Wheelers to put any more points on the board for the remainder of the bout. A close game with a final score of 102 to 88.

Have no fear, that’s NOT the end for the Long Island Roller Rebels this season! Come watch as the Roller Rebel All Stars take on the Molly Rogers Roller Girls from Melboune, FL on November 14th at Skate Safe. Grab a chair and a beer from our friends at Long Ireland Brewery. Sit back and enjoy some real derby action!

Roller Rebels Vs Morristown 10/17/09

The Long Island Roller Rebels skated over the Morristown Madams on Saturday, October 17th, rolling on out of New Jersey with a final score of 154 to 65.

The Rebels entered the game with a positive outlook and determination to dominate. Skating this bout with new all-star team members, Hard Cory, Northern ExposeHer, J-Bone, Tripsy Rose Lee and recent transfer from the Hellions of Troy, Point N Shoot. Though it took the newly formed all-star team about three jams to finally work together as a pack, they still managed to put impressive numbers on the board.

Morristown put up a fight, hitting and checking with much attempted force, however failed to put the breaks on Rebels veteran jammers, C-Roll and Amaretto Sourpuss who were both able to sneak away with impressive 19 point jams!

At the half, The Rebels were dominating with a score of 72 to 28. Rebels history shows that they always come back stronger in the second half. The Rebels stepped up the hitting, which was clearly illustrated in the second to last jam when Violet Knockout pulled an amazing Johnny Crash on Morristown’s Captain, Dee Licious, deterring her from playing the rest of the bout.

The win against the Morristown Madam’s pumped up the Rebels for their next inter league against the Molly Roger Roller Girls on November 14th at the Rebels home rink, Skate Safe America in Bethpage.

Ladies Vs Thundercats 9/19/09

Bloody paw prints remained on the track as the Thundercats marked their territory. The Ladies of Laceration butchered themselves, leaving their own blood to mop up on Saturday, September 19th when the Rolling Thundercats took victory with a final score of 186 to 90.

Skating short with only 10 players, the Thundercats had to paw up their game. And they did. Snarf . Snarf. Not only did Jammers C-Roll, Celtic Thunder, Freudy N. Slip and Hard Cory rack in some nice numbers, the Thundercat pack was tight and effective, allowing for them to take full control. The Thundercats demonstrated communication and teamwork on the track, providing whips, pushes and serious blocking in both offense and defense positions, giving them the opportunity to remain in the lead throughout the two periods.

Though the Ladies put in a great effort, it seemed as if they were distracted, resulting in even playing an entire jam without fielding a Jammer. The Ladies ended the game with 90 points on the board—30 provided by Beaver, 27 by Tailgunner Flo and help from Muscles Marinara. We also saw a great debut by Tripsy Rose Lee contributing 16 points for her very first bout.

Undefeated all season, the Cats will once again meet the Witches on the track on October 24th at the Championship bout. Seven days short of Halloween, where witches and black cats form an alliance to haunt those around them, the witches and cats will actually turn against one another on the track. Will the Wicked Wheelers melt the Rolling Thundercats on October 24th or will the Cats claw their way to the Championship Trophy?

It’s a bout not to be missed! Bring a chair, grab a beer and make some noise as the Wicked Wheelers and Rolling Thundercats duel it out on the track. Trip or Treat!

On Saturday August 29th, the Rebels all stars made a short trip to Yonkers, NY to take on the newly WFTDA accepted Suburban Brawl. In their first WFTDA sanctioned home bout, the Suburban Brawl put up a fierce fight against the Rebels. After the first half the Rebels felt the bruises with a low score of just 11 points while the Brawl put up a phenomenal 81 points. The Rebels came back strong in the second half adding another 29 points to the scoreboard and only allowing the Brawl another 77, with a final score of 158 to 40. The last jam was when the Rebels finally came together as a pack, when blocker D-Ball, who had an outstanding bout with jammer takedowns, took the jammer line with only a minute left on the period clock. Violet KnockOut and Chest Blockwell held the front of the pack for the first and last time that night. The Rebels fought hard, but learned more that night and will now prepare for their next home interleague bout on Saturday 11/14 against the Molly Roger Roller Girls, coming all the way up from Florida.

On Saturday, August 15th, the Wicked Wheelers and Rolling Thundercats met skate to skate once again to claim their status on the rink. And what a bout! Both the Cats and Wheelers put forth a strong and aggressive show. The Wheelers had some serious walls that were tough to break, thanks to Amaretto Sourpuss, who rotated out of her normal jamming position to pivot for most of the bout. The determination of the back blockers such as D-Ball and Northern Expose Her were quite intimidating. That didn’t stop the Thundercats trickster C-Roll who pulled some impressive lateral moves and jumps to claim her points. The score was 30 to 77 at halftime with the Cats in the lead. However, that didn’t stop the Wheelers from coming back strong in the second half. We saw some true derby action including an entire jam where the Wheelers were the only ones on the track, due to the large amount of penalties made by the Cats. The Wheeler pack came to a dead stop allowing lead jammer Red Snapper to rack up 20 points before the Cats could put any points on the board. This allowed the Wheelers to close the gap a little more. The final score of this rematch was 124 to 101. The victory went to the Thundercats. Will the Wheelers and the Thundercats have a 3rd rematch in the Championship bout? We shall see. It depends on who wins the last intraleague bout on September 19. Will it be the Ladies of Laceration or the Rolling Thundercats? Anticipation Awaits!

They are typical Ladies, folks—if you consider bloodshed andbeatings normal behavior for a Lady! These are quite the opposite of your sweet, well-mannered, tea-drinking women. They are the Ladies of Laceration bringing on a challenge to their wicked opponents the Witches—that’s right—the Wicked Wheelers.

A duel on skates, not on broomsticks, took place this haunted evening on Saturday, July 11^th. The Wheelers determined to use their witchcraft (or skatecraft) to melt these ladies on the rink. Boil Boil Ladies and Trouble!

Though the efforts were there to burn the witches, the Ladies fell short, in the end, by 56 points.

Coach Regine Bull held the Ladies spirits together the entire bout—providing them with determination and pride. The Ladies showed excellent blocking by Violet Knockout, D-Ball and J-Bone, but not enough for the Wheelers to go down. The Wheelers took a major lead, with ease, as the Ladies failed to hold their walls together….. Remember, the team who controls the pack, wins! Because of the gaps on the track, Wheelers’ jammers Greasy DeeCee, Amaretto Sourpuss, Celtic Thunder & Freudy N. Slip (Celtic and Freudy both on loan for the night from the Rolling Thundercats), were able to zig zag their way to the front of the pack, collecting those points fairly easily.

The Wheelers crushed the Ladies with a final score of 148 to 92. Have no fear, the Ladies will try to slice and dice their way to the championship bout, held on October 24^th. But first they must prove their performance against the Rolling Thundercats at the final intraleague bout on September 19. Will the Ladies survive this upcoming skate-stabbing event and make it to the Championships?

Come and see for yourself. Bring a chair and grab a beer from our buddy’s the Long Ireland Brewing Company, and cheer on your favorite team.

On Saturday June 20th, 2009, the Long Island Roller Rebels Travel Team packed their skates and prepared for the drive to wreak victory over the Hellions of Troy. This particular bout had some newcomers to the travel team, consisting of J-Bone, Northern Exposeher , Greasy Deasy and Smurfetish, whom did a fantastic job! It was a close call at half-time though folks, with the Rebels only leading by 11 points with a score of 79 to 68. With only 30 minutes left in the period, the Rebels had to step up their game. Back on the track for the 2nd period, the Rebels tightened up their skates, put their game faces on and played derby harder than ever! Jammers Amaretto Sourpuss, C-Roll, Greasy Deasy and Terrorpin racked up the points while the Rebel blockers laid some Hellions out. Sourpuss, playing very defensively while jamming, pulled out some serious hits while making her way through the pack. WD-40’s one and only Greasy Deasy was slick on the track, weaving her way in and out increasing the score. Don’t forget about Terrorpin who quickly snuck up against the Hellion prey and stole her points with hardly any penalties. And of course quick like lightening, C-Roll, as usual, pulled her tricks out of her wheels, which contributed to the extremely successful victory of 168 to 72.These ladies should be extremely proud of a job well done! And to show their excitement and sportsWomanship, they danced their skates off with the lovely hosts of the bout: The Hellions of Troy!

Black Wins!! On Saturday May 16th the Long Island Roller Rebels played their Home Opener for the 2009 season, beginning the 4th season for the Rebels, in front of a Sold Out crowd! It was an exhibition bout and all eligible skaters were placed on two teams in a simple debut of Pink vs. Black. Both teams included veteran skaters such as C-Roll, Amaretto Sourpuss, MadDonna, Regine Bull, Cyanide Kisses and the return of Killer Tofu, a member of the Roller Rebels in the 2006 and 2007 season. This bout also featured new members of the Roller Rebels, who are to NOT be missed this upcoming season!

The bout started off with Pink in the lead when jammer Regine Bull, put up one point and intelligently called off the jam without C-Roll able to put any points on the board. In the next jam, Greasy Decee, of the Pink team, who in her first jam ever put up a fierce score of 14 points! Veteran Tailgunner Flo was held to only 2 points and from the beginning Pink retained control of the scoreboard.

Not until the end of the first half when the score was 66 Pink and 65 Black, would Black begin to see a difference on the scoreboard. In the last jam of the first half, C-Roll put up a 20 point jam for the Black team, as Pink sent two blockers and one jammer to the penalty box. Several skaters from both teams had been ejected from this point due to high penalty’s, and black took advantage of how many skaters were on the track.

The rest of the night was a battle between the teams, mainly blocking took control of the bout. At this point Pinks team Captain’s, MadDonna and Amaretto Sourpuss, couldn’t do much as team Pink constantly fell short on the track with skaters in the penalty box. Team Black maintained control of the bout and finished with a winning score of 141 to 127.

On Saturday April 25th the Roller Rebels headed south to the Asbury Park Convention Center to take on the Jersey Shore Roller Girls. In a relatively close match up, the Roller Rebels started off on the right foot, trailing Jersey Shore by only several points. Than tragedy struck when team captain, Captain Morgan, was injured and was inable to play the remainder of the 2 thirty minute periods, only 7 minutes into the bout. With the loss of their team Captain, the Roller Rebels managed to stay on their game trailing by no more than 20 points. Not until midway through the second half Jammers, Tailgunner Flo and C-Roll; working double duty as back to back blockers and jammers, spent some time in the penalty box, and the Roller Rebels were just unable to make up the points. With a final score of 154 to 94 the Roller Rebels showed heart and dignity throughout the bout, but promised to improve their game on May 9th when the team heads to Vermont to take on the Green Mountain Derby Dames.
