On Saturday, September 12th, the Penn Jersey She-Devils hosted a co-ed game against the visiting Richmond Derby Demons at their home rink in Mt. Laurel, NJ, losing by one point with a final score of 59-58.
The game was the tightest match yet in Mt. Laurel and featured two closely matched teams.
My selection for MVP of the game was Mr. Mayhem from Richmond, scoring an incredible 36 points. In addition to Mr. Mayhem, Richmond came to skate with their regulars Demalisha Durga, Square Cat, Minor Threat, and RawJawBone. A recent addition to Richmond is former Hooligan – Chainsaw, who now lives in Richmond. Augmenting the team were South Jersey’s Billy Rae Siren and Man’s Ruin’s Tienty Deville along with Tazer. Also skating for Richmond were Eve L. Redhead and Rotcoddam “doc”. The latter I had never seen before and was impressed with her defensive skills.
Penn Jersey had 12 skaters on board – Classy Chassis, Miss Chievous, Wags, JD Babaganoosh, ShamPain, Cloberella, D-Machine, Shillelagh Law, Mace Kelly, Crash Money, Freudy N. Slip and Baby Skates Nelson. Wags was all over the track – blocking, jamming and pivot. It is very noticeable how he keeps looking behind to watch the approaching jammer and is often in the right place at the right time.
The action was all over the track and both teams should be very proud of their performances.
Richmond’s Durga was moved to tears. KUDOS to Richmond!
On a side note – I was very impressed with the announcing by Cello and Rhonda. Very well done.
The next game in Mt. Laurel is October 24th and will feature the Penn Jersey She-Devils vs. Man’s Ruin from Chester, NY.

http://oldschoolderbyassociation.com/requirements/
or just ask me for a condensed version i’ve prepared for this event.
i need to hear by all participants by OCT 1. there will be room for skaters up to OCT 7, but i want to have a clear idea of the balance 2 weeks before so i can make any needed adjustments. email or send a pm on fb.
North team wears navy blue shirt with white name/number
South team wears battleship gray shirt with black name/number.
Be advised- this is a co-ed game. So bring your refs to share in the fun.
all males playing in the OSDA support a policy of not being jerks/knuckleheads to their female skatemates. they will only strongly block females they’re familiar with and certain can give and take the intensity of blocks males deliver. there need not be a concern for anyone’s safety playing co-ed. we guarantee a safe environment for all our guests.
no fighting, rivalries, or bad attitudes tolerated. we’re all in love with this sport and want to promote a great fun time for our skaters, for our fans, and for our sponsors.
DON”T WORRY ABOUT DERBY HOUSING OR HOTELS-
Rollerdome is allowing us to have a lock in. So just bring air beds/sleeping bags, pillows etc…
There will be an after party down the street and at 10pm we return to Rollerdome for all night sleepover. music and skating till 1 (we can try some roller dodgeball), lights out at 2.
