Chippewa Valley Roller Girls 10/22

Something a bit outside my normal circles. Modern roller derby is cool, and I have connections to this team it turns out.

This bout was the Chippewa Valley Roller Girls against the Harbor City Roller Dames, on 22-Oct-2011 in Eau Claire (home for CVRG).

First bout I've watched or photographed. Harbor City won handily, but it looked to me like CVRG actually showed up and played; they just lost. They didn't quit, didn't seem even to ease up particularly.

Way too many photos, but I figure I was shooting primarily for the players (my friend is on CVRG, but I was thinking of Harbor City too); so any decent picture I got of any player is here somewhere. The first group strike me as "better" photos, but may not show the most interesting points of the game as understood by an expert.
