CCRG Female Trouble 149, MTLRD Les Sexpos 69 -- Charm City fielded a mix of A and B team skaters in their match against Montreal's mostly green B team here, as 7 of Charm's 13 skaters had just played in a WFTDA sanctioned bout against the Montreal all-stars. As in the opening game, the first few jams were pretty closely matched before the Baltimore skaters began to open up a serious lead.

The bout opened 4-4, 0-0 and 4-4 before Allie B Back gave Female Trouble the lead for good with a 5-0 over Squarrior. Female Trouble would rely heavily on Allie and very new skater Twibite on the jam line, and with backup from Slap Tackle Pop, LA Riot and Kelly O'Shanku, they delivered a 32-15 lead about 15 minutes into the game. The Sexpos were within shouting distance for most of the first half, but FT got a game-breaking jam from ShankU with about five minutes left -- she turned a 61-32 lead into a 75-32 with a big 14-0 powerjam behind blocking from Xena Paradox and Essie Ecks. At the half Female Trouble enjoyed a 79-36 lead.

The Sexpos started getting in the same second-half penalty trouble that had bedeviled the Montreal all-stars in the first bout, but the scoring ended up more or less the same. FT took the second 70-33, closing with two successful jams for usual blocking specialists Xena Paradox (4-1) and Flux Incapacitator (10-0).

For the home team, jammer Hustle Rose had speed and some agile jukes that made her look like a potential up-and-comer, while Ana Thema, K-Dawg and Ninja Simone were effective in the pack. Resilient jammer Squarrior was also a big part of the Sexpos offensive attack. -- Justice Feelgood Marshall

FWDG SWAT Team 52, Circle City 45 -- The Circle City Socialites of Indianapolis played their first bout of the season on Saturday night in Fort Wayne, where they were edged out 52-45 in a hotly contested 40 minute match-up.

The SWAT girls took the lead right off the bat for a score of 9-2, but the Socialites quickly gained ground throughout the 20-minute first period. They built up to a 25-16 lead just before halftime, but Fort Wayne racked up a 6-point power jam to end the first half down at 25-22.

At the start of the second period, with the Socialite jammer still in the box, Fort Wayne racked up a major jam to establish a 15-point lead. The score then stayed pretty close for the rest of the bout, with strong blocking from both teams consistently keeping the jammers back -- often on the ground -- and the overall score low. A last-minute rally by the Socialites wasn't quite enough to earn that key final 7 points.

This was the first bout ever for four Socialites: Anya Booty, Dublin Ur Pain, Spleana Rupture, and Trouble Helix. Their gracious Fort Wayne hosts also handed out awards, as decided on by the three announcers, to three CCS players: Roll-R-Damage (best CCS jammer), Robin Sock'em (best CCS pivot), and Beattie Sedgwick (best CCS blocker). Standout SWAT girls included the quick, agile jammer Kiki U. Skullzen and the powerhouse blocker Oreo SlamHer, who also triumphantly took the floor as a jammer in the final minutes of the bout.

This was the first half of a sold-out double-header. It was followed by a full 60-minute game between the Hammer City Roller Girls of Ontario, Canada, vs. the Fort Wayne Bomb Squad all-stars; Fort Wayne took that win 119-44.

The Socialites are in action again on March 13 in Muskegon, Michigan. Both Fort Wayne teams take on the Bleeding Heartland Roller Girls of Bloomington, Indiana, on March 27. -- Kelly Kendall

Paper Valley 170, MRD Quad Squad 92 -- Paper Valley’s All Stars trounced Madison’s Team Unicorn in Appleton last weekend. They did the same with one of the Mad Rollin’ Dolls' local teams, the Quad Squad, in an unsanctioned interleague bout.

After falling behind 19-0, the Quads at least kept it close until PVRG's Cyanide Ride laid down a 14-0 jam for a 72-41 lead. Pissy Pistol bracketed half time with 26 points, and PVRG maintained a 60 point margin for most of the second half.

The Quad Squad beat Paper Valley last spring, but a year of team work demonstrates that Paper Valley possesses some serious talent.  Top of that list is Pissy Pistol, who followed last week’s 92 points with 72 this time around.  PVRG’s pack put up a solid three-skater defensive front, and held the Quads to just five points during back-to-back PVRG jammer penalties.

Thunder Kitten had 38 points for the Quad Squad, and rookie Aleta the Hon 28. -- Geoffrey Saucer

Skeetown 222, Flint City 60 -- The Skeetown Skirtz (Muskegon, MI) hosted their first ever home bout versus the Flint City Derby Girls and did not disappoint their fans in delivering the goods. Jumping out to a 67-0 lead after just 6 jams, the Skirtz never looked back and easily cruised to their third victory in as many bouts since their inception in July of 2009.

With a roster bolstered by veteran league co-founders and former Grand Raggidy standouts Dot Matrix and Tamara Hurtsworse, the Skirtz jumped all over Flint City (also in their first year of interleague play) early and often en route to a 222-60 victory.

Bout Offensive MVP Hurtsworse had 7 slams while adding 11 assists and 12 defensive actions throughout the night.  Many of her assists were in the opening 10 minutes, while the Skirtz tenacious defense stymied Flint's jammers, holding them scoreless through the first 6 jams. With a 67-0 lead in hand, the Skirtz never slowed down and used their deep roster of speedsters to continue to pour on points throughout the night.

Flint City struggled with the Skirtz speed off the bench but fought valiantly and got on the board when jammer Lexi Pro juked her way through the pack in the 7th jam to get Flint on the board. Still, though, Skeetown led 135-11 at the half on their way to the 162-point victory.

Skeetown was led by Matrix's 45 points in 5 jams and Hurtsworse's 38 points in 5 jams. They sent 12 different jammers to the line throughout the course of the bout, 10 of whom scored in double digits. Lexi led all Flint scorers with 19 points on the night while Leanimal and Slapher Sally chipped in 17 and 14 points respectively for the visitors.

Skeetown hosts the Circle City Socialites in their next interleague bout in March 13 while Flint City takes on their cross town interleague rivals, the Mid-Michigan Derby Girls the very next night on March 14. -- Darryl B. Payne
