A cross-county bash fest

On November 10th the usual Thursday training session was put to one side for a friendly private scrimmage between our local PCRGers and the whirlwinds in pink from Cornwall.
All the skating moves the team had been perfecting at recent practices came together with Plymouth catching goats, building walls that could rival Hadrian and bashing their way around the track. The Cornish brought some Celtic passion to the closed bout and gave as good as they got with points pretty close for most of the jams.
As designated point scorer I found it pretty hard not to get over excited when a PCRGer whizzed past to tot up some points and I will secretly admit that a few squeaks of support may have escaped my lips at numerous times throughout the evening.
Sitting on the sidelines it was great to see how quickly these past few weeks of Derby 101 have started to play out on the track and everyone seemed to be having a fantastic time on their skates.
Here are a few photos snapped from one of our resident paparazzi (my Mr Alex). There are loads more to come so keep an eye out.
Good job PCRG!
