we recognise that we might not always get things right and we are open to feedback to help us understand. We send all our love to the Black community ❤️✨

We stand firmly against racism, police brutality and the persistence of white supremacy. We stand in solidarity with those individuals spreading the message loudly and clearly: Black Lives Matter. Racism is a problem that goes beyond the individual - it’s systemic.

We want to learn and we will continue to educate ourselves but if you ever feel we have not got things right please let us know through any of our social platforms or by emailing info@dollyrockitrollers.co.uk

So, we’ll be taking time to look internally, to learn from the resources that have been shared, and to listen to those who truly understand this reality.

We recognise that we are part of a white dominated sport and that our own league is predominantly white. It is not enough for us to not be racist and in order for us to make a meaningful difference and be real allies we have to be actively anti-racist.

Thinking of coming along to our intake on Sunday? Have a read of this blog written by someone who already did it 👉 tinyurl.com/yy4t8s7c 🙌 #rollerderby #ThursdayThoughts

And what a good game it was a high intensity game with hard hits, power jams, apex jumps and with both teams refusing to back down from each other giving each other a hard time not giving in and not stopping no matter what it’s a game that won’t be forgotten

3 minuets left and the Dolly’s squeeze themself ahead by 4 points it’s a close one and a fight to the finish
