On Saturday June 7th, VRD hosted its first home bout this year and what a day and night that was – no words could descirbe! At 16:30 the doors opened for the audience and VRD was instantly overwhelmed by so much Derby Love, 390 tickets were sold and nearly every seat at Hopsagasse was taken. Half an hour later the spectacle began, our own beloved Fearleaders fired up the audience with their stunning show just before our Rookies deBOUT. Rookies played against Rookies in teams black and white, this was their very first time in front of an audience and rarely have you seen so many proud and radiant faces!
Then it was time for the Pros, VRDs A-Team played against the Roller Derby Metz Club All Stars. In the first half lead change followed after lead change and scores kept being tied. During the second half RDMC really showed what they got and VRD kept fighting til the end but the game ended at 122:162 for RDMC. Nonetheless VRD had a great day with challenging competitors, the best audience ever and an afterparty that is hard to top! But rumours have it that VRD will be travelling to Metz next year. Find more pics here – we’ll keep updating them so stay tuned!
