Pretty much sums up my feelings of playing with my Tiger Bay buddies at 2013 A Skate Odyssey! What a freakin’ excellent weekend!!!
Sarah Moola is the only Muslim girl in the UK who competes in roller derby. Despite its reputation as an aggressive contact sport with women wearing raunchy costumes, Sarah adores roller derby and insists it does not clash with her religious beliefs. When she was meeting prospective husbands with her parents, Sarah was careful to choose someone who would be happy to let her pursue her love of roller derby.I filmed for this about a month ago. I hope other muslims see it and realise that it’s possible to get involved in sport without compromising your faith.
Daphne / Sarah is s true inspiration for all current and potential derby girls!
A nice little shout out to my team following our WFTDA tournament debut!
Anarchy weekend…
So so so impressed by jamming from Auld Reekie’s Admiral Attackbar and Bear City’s Master Blaster. Some truly breath taking moments have occurred in the games from the last two days.
*smiles and sighs*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US - WE’RE THREE TODAY!
And here’s a picture of our very own Block Booty looking pleased as punch about it.
Keep an eye out for a couple more baby Brawlers on skates to celebrate our birthday!!
It seems crazy that I’ve been skating for derby for a whole three years. The time has just flown by and I am amazed and excited by the fact that something I ventured into as a ‘sometimes’ hobby is now a full on passion and such a wonderful part of my life.
Oh, and Booty - just as adorable then as she is now! ;-)
