Last night the Jerzey Derby
Brigade (JDB) hosted long-time adversaries the Backyard Bullies, hailing from
Westchester County NY, at JDB’s home track in Morristown NJ.
JDB scored the first points
with jams by #235 A-Bomb and #3684 Californikate. #1952 Queen Elizadeath II,
skating with exceptional speed, put the first points on the board for the
Bullies. From the beginning blocking was strong on both teams with a noticeable
difference in styles: JDB somewhat more often held its formations and the
Bullies were somewhat more often flexible – but only somewhat in each case. JDB
gained a substantial, but still vulnerable, lead thanks to a 15 point power jam
by Californikate followed by a 13 point jam by #8 Lil Mo Peep bringing the
score to 50-4. The points were gained against stiff opposition with #1234
Revengela taking down Lil Mo Peep and solid double-teaming by #5 Aldanamite and
#555 Aya Yai. The Bullies added points of their own with #84 Moonie Sweets
scoring against hard blocking. The first half ended with JDB leading 101-32.
The second half began with
A-bomb adding 20 points for JDB in a power jam. Effective blocking on both
sides led to take-downs, pile-ups, and at least one injury. #92 Partygirl
Accelerator repeatedly had successful jams for the Bullies as did #1952, which
finally began to chip at the nearly 100 point lead built up by JDB. Queen
Elizadeath II put the Bullies over the century mark to 190-105. Californikate,
despite a hard takedown, then took JDB over 200 at 206-110. Neither team let up
as the clock ran down. In the final jam of the game #1952 Queen Elizadeath II
broke out to be lead jammer but #8 Lil Mo Peep was close behind; both scored
points against stiff blocking with Lil Mo Peep putting the last points on the
board. Final Score: 254-161 in favor of
JDB.
