We love roller derby and we want to be able to invite more people to come and skate with us but don't have the resources at the moment. Winning £1000 in the Mars Milk Fund could change that, but we need your votes to boost our chances!
Please click the link and vote. It's super easy and won't take long at all. And if you have more than one email address then you can use them all to vote as many times as possible. Thanks so much in advance, TBB.
Updates from the TBB contingent on the US tour!
Ooooooooooops. Sorry we neglected you Tumblr. We'll do better. If you want to see what the Brawlers' A team is up to on their US tour then check out our Storify link. We'll be updating with photos, tweets and all sorts as we receive it! Enjoy.
SUR5AL IS COMING TO WALES!
You know the concept; you’ve seen the awesomeness; some of you may even have got the t-shirt. Now take part on home turf!
On Saturday 26 July the Tiger Bay Brawlers will host the first Welsh Sur5al in Penarth, based on the awesome Sur5al format created by our friends at Windsor Rollergirls. There’s an abundance of wicked teams in Wales so let’s celebrate that and get together for one awesome day of fast-paced, hard-hitting, all-female roller derby. This will be a mixed level event and is open to all minimum skills passed female roller derby teams/skaters in Wales. Application forms are coming soon, and you’ll need to be ready to complete this with your team of 5 skaters, so you may want to get that organised now! There is no limit to how many skaters each league can put forward to participate but there will only be 10 teams taking part on the day, allocated on a first come first served basis. The cost will be £35 per person (including your Sur5al tshirt printed with your skater number and the Sur5al logo) Please note, there will be no capacity for spectators at this event but we will endeavour to get some social media updates setup so your supporters can cheer you on remotely! What are you waiting for? Save the date now and start putting together your kick-ass team for your chance to Sur5!

‘Don’t be upset with the results you didn’t get from the work you didn’t do’ - Said the internet once. I love a good motivationally quote, and this is one of my favourites. Roller Derby has grown and developed dramatically during the short time that I have been skating. Back in 2011 when I joined...
Very wise words from Edel! Check it out.

We need to raise £15,000 in 15 weeks to get our A team to the USA for this year's East Coast Derby Extravaganza.
We're one of only seven non-US teams representing and the only UK team on the line up, something we're super proud of.
We can't wait to take part in our first US tournament but we really need as much support as we can to get there. Please check out our Go Fund Me page and see if you can help - we're also offering some pretty nifty merchandise as an incentive.
Thanks in advance, TBB.x
Busy times at Brawler HQ!
As ever, 2014 has been crazy busy already for us Brawlers - and it's only February! Here's a round up of all the things you need to know: Next home bout: Saturday 22 February
First up the Tiger Bay B team will take on Leicester’s Dolly Rockit Rollers All Stars. On paper our teams are fairly evenly matched, being placed 46th and 48th respectively. This will be the first time the two teams have met on track and our B team are keen to continue the promise they showed at the end of last year with consecutive victories against Leeds Roller Dolls’ Whip Its and Helsinki’s Queen B’s.
The second game of the day sees the Tiger Bay A team up against Birmingham’s Central City Rollergirls. This will be the first time these two teams have met on track with Tiger Bay only ever having played – and beaten – CCR’s B team before. CCR’s last game (against Sheffield in November) saw them bag a big win, with a 160 point advantage, while our A team finished 2013 losing back to back games to Helsinki’s A team and London Rollergirls’ Brawl Saints. Following our recent defeat to London Brawling we are hungry to reclaim our winning ways!

Getting to know you: Steph Howarth
Steph joined the Brawlers in our second full recruitment day in 2012 and is a familiar face on our awesome B team where she's a budding jammer as well as a fantastic strategist and blocker. Steph is also a regular name on our A team charter and played her first A team game last weekend vs. Royal Windsor Rollergirls. Not bad to get a win in your first game, eh? Exciting!
When Steph's not contributing to league awesomeness on skate, she is a member of the Brawlers' Upper Management Committee (the Directors) making sure everything ticks over nicely day to day.
But that's enough of us gushing about Steph. Here she is in her own words:
ALL ABOARD THE BRAWLER BUS* Next Saturday 23 November our A team (currently fourth in Europe - very cool) take on Royal Windsor Roller Girls in Windsor. It's the first time we've met the team publicly on track having only played them in a closed door game before. We're excited! And the best news for you? We have room on the Brawler bus so some of our lovely supporters can come with us.
The info you need is:

Snap 'em up! *That isn't actually the bus we're taking as it belongs to http://transactionkc.com/tag/ugt/ but we love it so wanted to share it with you all!
This is an awesome 3-minute recap of our A team vs. Leeds Rebel Roses last week done by the very wonderful Brock n'Roller! Check it out :) You can see us in action vs. Royal Windsor Roller Girls next month but our next home bouts are on the 7th and 8th December. Save the dates!
On Saturday I combined my love of roller derby with my love of a good road trip by jumping on the Brawler bus to Leeds to take photos at a roller derby double header. Tiger Bs took on the Whip-Its before the Brawlers faced the Rebel Roses.
Bout bouts were brilliant, Cardiff came away with with a double win, and I survived the entire day on a diet of peanuts and sweets - result!
See the entire set on Flickr here or on Facebook here.
Adam Chard of Croatoan Design took these awesome shots of our games vs. Leeds Roller Dolls on Saturday. We love them!
DERBY WEEKENDER: Brawlers vs Helsinki + another awesome rematch!!
SAVE THE MOTHER FLIPPING DATE KIDS
Saturday 7 December and Sunday 8 December
TIGERS VS TURTLES! Yes, that's right. On Saturday 7 December we get the rematch we've been counting down to since Skate Odyssey in May. The Brawlers A team will once again take on Helsinki, who we only beat by three points last time to get through to the final of the tournament! Some of our eagle eyed fans will have spotted bits of that game on Roller Derby Till I Die last week and anyone who was there can tell you just how much of a nail-biter it was! That bout will be a double header with our B team also taking on an opponent in their second public home bout this year.
AND THAT'S NOT ALL.... On Sunday 8 December our A team will be playing another home bout in the brand spanking new Cardiff Roller Arena. Yep, back to back Brawler bouts! We're currently finalising the details but it's set to be an absolute corker. We can't say much yet but it's another rematch from this year and we guarantee it's going to be absolutely fantastic, for both the skaters and our fans! Our opponents are absolute giants on the European derby scene and we can't wait to meet them again (especially as we won last time)
Who do you think it is? Any guesses?
All the information is coming soon, including ticket information and ticket packages so you can come to all games for a bargain price!
Here the details you need for now… When? Saturday 7 December: Tiger Bay Brawlers vs. Helsinki double header
Where? Talybont Sports Centre, Cardiff.
And then? Tiger Bay Brawlers vs. another European roller derby giant on Sunday 8 December in Cardiff Roller Arena!
Go on tell me more... No no, all details coming soon, but just make sure you're in Cardiff on the 7th and 8th December!
Grab a permanent marker and pop it into your diary and calendar so you don’t forget!!
Three super exciting facts about this weekend's game...
1. The score prediction!
Last time we met Crime City on track we beat them by 244-212 BUT just a couple of jams before the end of the game CCR had 20 points taken off them due to an illegal star pass so imagine how close that would have been!? The score prediction for this weekend is 200-158, so one power jam could make all the difference. Excited? You should be. We are! 2. Our announcer to the rescue
One of our regular announcers is unable to make it but we have the perfect replacement! We're stoked to say that Double Threat Skates' Goregasm will be joining our very own Trauma Broad on the microphone to let y'all know exactly what's going on. If you've ever spent any time in Gaz's company you know this'll be a hoot!
3. We'll be streaming the Fort Wayne Playoffs at the after party!
Do we need to expand on this? As long as technology plays ball we'll be able to watch the awesome Fort Wayne bouts after the awesome Cardiff bout. So we can all back London Rollergirls together! (Anyone else just get an epic photo idea?)
What are you waiting for? Snap up your ticket now - only £8 in advance (a saving of £2 off the on-the-door price) https://www.facebook.com/events/1398252320392715/
