Merby is less about tactics and more about hitting hitting hitting. And skating very fast. And also the guys who do it are our lovely refs for the most part so it's nice to see them have to swallow their own insubordination for a change (if you thought that sounded rude it's you not me!) I won't hold you in suspense - the score was something like 250:67 to the team which had all the MRD guys in. It was an absolute massacre & I now have a very sore throat from screaming so much. The guys did freaking amazingly, all of them, I couldn't even pick anyone out. They ruled. Among our greatest triumphs were:
1. Andy dislocated his jaw. Rule. He also stopped a jammer dead in their track by simply standing in front of them.
2. Aiden didn't get ejected till the final jam which is a firs & blowing kisses to the crowd halfway through a jam.
3. Dean jamming like freaking road runner & also taking some big hits without even flinching.
4. Skabby reffing her first bout - I can't believe you picked merby for the first one are you INSANE!
Obviously that's not all of them - the MRD boys did us proud. Also, I won the raffle, which is possibly my greatest triumph - I got an MMR t shirt yaaaaay!
Getting to watch Sheffield play was also really cool - they dominated their bout as well although I can't remember the score offhand. They make it look so easy! I picked up so much from them & now I have to drag myself back to the Arcadia & try as hard as I can to be a fraction of that awesome. But one day we will win & that day will be sooooo sweet! I think I learnt something anyway ;)
And I made Andy a banner. Because he's Andy basically!
