After months of getting up close and personal with each other in practice, the Mad Rollin' Dolls finally took off the gloves and went at it for real on January 30. In front of a sold-out crowd, the Unholy Rollers took on the Psycho Kitties to start things off. The dolls of darkness brought the pain with Jewels of Denile, Maverick and Yngrid Murdersteen racking up big points on the crazy cats. There was no letting up in the second half, but Hell Kat and Frenchie led the fight for the Psycho Kitties - including a bench clearing brawl in the 3rd period. In the end, the Unholy Rollers' lead was just too much and the Psycho Kitties fell short 162-77. Look for the bad blood to boil again in the April rematch.

The action continued when the Quad Squad went wheel to wheel with the Reservoir Dolls. Crackerjack, Pocahotass and Tatum Tantrum let the Reservoir Dolls's high-powered offense to a first-half lead. The Quad Squad came on strong in the second half with some furious skating by Jenny Knoxville and Thunder Kitten. A smoldering feud between Pam Demonium and Predator burst into flames in the 4th period, resulting in Pam's ejection from the bout. A fired up Quad Squad took it down to the wire, losing the 4th quarter on the last jam of the night. The final score was Reservoir Dolls 140, Quad Squad 121. The Mad Rollin' Dolls are recovering nicely from scratches, bruises and black eyes and are itching to get back out and settle some more scores the derby way! Scores: Psycho Kitties 77, Unholy Rollers 162 Reservoir Dolls 140, Quad Squad 121 Check out the rest of the action-packed photos.

PROCEEDS

a portion of the proceeds from this bout went to help Andy Adams, local computer genius, ace photographer and real cool cat, pay for medical expenses incurred during his struggle with Hodgkins Lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph system. By the end of August, Andy had completed his treatments and was successfully declared in remission, yay! Unfortunately, lacking adequate health insurance, his new lease on life includes a hefty pile of medical expenses. It's the least we can do to help.
