Bumberbout update! pool 1

Bumberbout started with an old fashioned ass whoopin’ with the Texecutioners beating down the Boston Stranglers by a score of 56-13

The Dairlyland Dolls opened up their tournament play against the Kansas City Roller Warriors. Last summer a group of Mad Rollin’ Dolls and Kansas City skaters joined forces, winning the Rollercon 2005 scavenger hunt. Today those friendships were set aside as soon as the whistle blew. The Dairyland Dolls jumped out to an early lead behind strong jams by Mouse and Dolly Pardon Me, but the KC Roller Warriors came storming back, closing the gap to 27-25 halfway through the period. The DDs came on strong with some punishing hits by Hacksaw and Lizzie Borden, knocking the KC jammers into the boards. The final three jams saw the DD jammers pull away while the defense kept Kansas City off the scoreboard. Final score 41-28.

In the most anticipated match of Pool 1, the Dairyland Dolls finally faced the Texecutioners. Having missed out on the opportunity to play each other in the Dust Devil earlier this year, both teams were ready to rumble. The Dairyland Dolls came out on fire, taking a 7-4 lead after the first two jams. That was about it until late in the period, since the Texecutioners put down the hammer defensively and squeezed out a handful of points each jam, taking a 28-8 lead with a few minutes left in the game. The Dairyland Dolls fought back at the end, but the contest was already decided. When the final whistle blew, the Texecutioners showed everyone why they are the defending champions, winning 37-12.

In their third bout, the Dairyland Dolls took on the Boston Stranglers. Boston just came off a 42-18 loss to the Kansas City Roller Warriors and were looking to bounce back against the Dolls, but it was not meant to be. Right from the start the Dairyland Dolls’ blockers kept the Boston jammers under control, while Mouse, Dolly Pardon Me and Pocahotass racked up the points. Leaving no doubt about their claim to the grudge match later tonight, the Dairyland Dolls snuffed out the Boston Stranglers 47-8.

Right now Kansas City is playing Texas and has to win by over 20 points for us to get knocked out of the grudge match. Won't happen.

Pool 2 updates later tonight with Grudge Match and Championship results to follow.
