Last year was the first full season for the Bellingham Roller Betties. As they were just getting started, the Betties lacked organization and opponents. They only held a handful of inner squad bouts, but the potential for something big was there. This season the Betties are back and stronger than ever. They now have three teams and play out of town opponents from different cities.

Last night the Bellingham Roller Betties team Flash took on the Hellbound Homewreckers from the Dockyard Derby Dames (Tacoma). At the beginning of the bout it looked like the Hellbound Homewreckers were going to rout the home team Betties as they jumped out to an early lead. About fifteen minutes into the first half, the Flash finally got into a groove while the Homewreckers found themselves spending a lot of time in the penalty box. At the end of the half the Betties had taken the lead 66 – 58 over the Dames of Tacoma.

After a short break the other two Bellingham Roller Bettie teams came out to battle, Tough Love vs The Cog Blockers . While the Cog Blockers put up a fight, this wasn’t much of a match as Tough Love ran away with an early lead and never let up.

As for the second half of Flash vs the Hellbound Homewrecks, this one got ugly. The Betties and Dames came out swinging. While there were no major injuries observed, there were definitely a lot of bruises. The Hellbound Homewreckers seemed to be getting caught more than the hometown Betties as they again found themselves getting some serious seat time in the penalty box. In the end, Flash came out well on top with a final score of 156 – 100. It was a great victory for Flash and the Bellingham Roller Betties.

All of the girls battled hard throughout the night and a good time was had by all (except for maybe the Homewreckers). I’m looking forward to watching Bout 4 on March 30th and hopefully I will see you there as well.
