What a way to start a weekend!
Chaos Engine had an absolute blast scrimming against Beta Brummies yesterday.
A huge thank you to Beta Brummies for making the trip north and bringing such an amazing scrim fun atmosphere. We loved every minute of it and came away with loads to build on.
Just look how happy all the Badass Blockers,Top Banana’s, Hot Jam’s and Captains choices are!

🏆Huge congratulations and GOOD LUCK to our Manchester Roller Derby talent competing in Orléans, France at the Men’s Roller Derby World Cup this weekend.🥳
We’re so proud of our skaters, coaches, officials and support staff representing Team England, Team Ireland and Team Officials. We know just how much work has gone into getting here, and how long some have waited for this moment. These superstars are usually our team coaches, committee members, skaters and bench support and we are excited to see them do their stuff in the world’s stage.
From Thursday, we’ll be cheering from Manchester at 8:00 (BST) with breakfast croissants for Ireland v Mexico, and again from 13:00 with lunchtime baguettes for England v Chile 🥖 see slide 2 for full timings!
So proud. Sending all the big Manchester Roller Derby love 💚

If you’re watching Soreen… we have a huge fan on our Manchester Valkyries team…
Valkyries know that serious game play requires serious nutrition. Before a game, you will always find Hel-razor fuelling with her soreen! Did someone say sponsorship?! 🙏 👀 👀 👀
