Our playoffs weekend is over for this year. We started out with a hard fought, but mostly very tight, game against Atlanta Rollergirls. In the end they beat us by 43 points, sending us to the consolation bracket which eliminated our chances of going to champs later this year. Very disappointing of course!
But what kind of team could we be if we weren’t able to pick ourselves up, brush off and get right back up on that horse? On Saturday we first played Steel City and then Columbia, winning both games by more than 150 points.
And then for our final game, the one deciding if we were gonna finish 5th or 6th, we had the honor to face our great fellow europeans at the tournament, Rainy City. Another tight and exciting game, which ended with us having won by 30 points.
We entered the tournament as seed number 5 and finished in 5th place, we played four great bouts, we have tons of new experiences… and our three jammers were in the top 4 most scoring jammers during the weekend, with only Scald Eagle from Rose City topping us. Pretty cool! Read about it here.
Our final scores for the weekend:
Atlanta Rollergirls 155 – 112 Crime City Rollers
Crime City Rollers 271 – 100 Steel City Roller Derby
Crime City Rollers 260 – 100 Columbia Quad Squad
Crime City Rollers 142 – 112 Rainy City Roller Derby
