This past Saturday, November 19th was the second annual Scrimmage-a-thon hosted by the Cincinnati Rollergirls; a day of open skate games, challenge bouts and a feature game where Team Berzerker a co-ed team made up of CRG skaters and other players from the Tri-state area challenged those who signed up earlier in the day. Two of the highlights from the day were seeing the Cincinnati Men’s team the “Battering Rams” skating in men’s and coed open bouts.. The Cincinnati Junior Rollergirls made their debut in a 30 minute intra-squad scrimmage, playing great and having fun. Coach Kathy Kissing should be very proud of them.
