Bridgend Roller Derby

Happy pride from us at BRD! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

We are so lucky to be involved in such an inclusive, accepting sport. There is no space for hate in rollerderby so lets spread the word and play with pride.

You may have seen us rocking our new helmet covers during our last game.

As a small team we rely on community contribution to keep running, this season we were able to obtain a grant from the Post code lottery, facilitated by The purpose of the grant is to break down the barriers grass root sports teams face

We are incredibly greatful, the support has directly led to our new kit which the team will be proudly sporting during future games 💙

We had our first session back yesterday and we are still riding the high of winning our 5N tier 🏅

On our first session back we did scrim scenarios and power jam starts. Whilst our skaters may be sick of being in the bin at times during our 5N season, we still had lots of pretend time in the bin to facilitate jam starts last night. sorry not sorry team 🤣

But everyone had a fab session and we are all still pumped from our win and bringing everything to training to prepare for next season!

The bank holiday meant our training session was cancelled BUT nice weather calls for a team hangout regardless! 🌞

Hope you've all been enjoying the bank holiday weekend sun because we definitely have 😝
