The evening of Saturday the 8th of October saw the Convict City Roller's Representative Team WIN the 2011 Tasmanian Roller Derby Championship.

It was a fiercely close game with the end of game score only ONE POINT difference.

Convict City Rollers - 99 to Van Diemen Rollers - 98

The score was up and down right through out the game, with some awesome skating and strategy being shown by both teams.

Well Done to Van Diemen Rollers for making us work hard for the win and in our eyes you are all just as much Winners as we are.
