Chaos On The Clyde
Kent Roller Girls All-stars made the trip to Glasgow for their first
ever WFTDA-sanctioned games in the Chaos on the Clyde tournament this August.
Their biggest challenge yet saw them play against their highest ranked opponents to-date. With Glasgow Roller Derby dominating the track all weekend and ultimately claiming the trophy, their athleticism and fierce offensive play in the first game of Day One proved too much for Kent’s All Stars: the hosts taking the win. Day Two and KRG’s renowned walls held Auld Reekie for much of the game, with Edinburgh’s reserve team just holding on to their lead to the end.

Roller Derby is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, with new leagues forming all over the globe.
