Expectations were high for the Terminal City Roller Girls’ second bout of Season 4 after last month’s raucous, sold-out season opener. Luckily, the derby gods were shining down on Minoru Arena last on May 15, as over 1,600 fans cheered on an awesome double-header.

The Bad Reputations defeated The Loganettes – a pick-up team made of the Eves of Destruction from Victoria and the Reign Valley Vixens (based "on the east side of the Fraser River") – 123-71, while the Riot Girls escaped with a narrow win over the Faster Pussycats in a bout that saw nine different lead changes, a handful of monster hits, and the two teams leaving absolutely everything on the flat track, ending in a 129-116 nail (and finger and arm) biter.


The Bad Reputations versus The Loganettes

Although The Bad Reps were able to keep the visiting team off the scoreboard for the first five jams of the night, Beaver Canoe’s speed and Sista Fista’s power eventually got The Loganettes some hard-earned points. The Bad Reps did an impressive job for entire night, containing the jammer behind two- and three-person walls – sometimes even bringing in an extra skater to lay down a blinding hit.
