Dee Montague, spokesman for Hereford Roller Girls (HRG) said: “Everybody at HRG is sad to see these two brilliant skaters leave, but collectively thank them for their incredible contribu- tions on and off their skates to the club, and wish them all the very best for their fu— ture derby careers. “As for many clubs, re- cruiting for roller derby in a small city has proved chal- lenging for HRG, but with more regular skaters than ever, it’s a promising time for the club. “Many skaters are on the cusp of training and being eligible for selection with the Horror Bulls and with the focus on training and recruitment in the first half of 2016, the squad is sure to grow. “In addition to building The Horror Bulls, the club are still hoping to develop a men’s team, as well as its team of officials —— referees and non-skating officials. “ Anyone who is over 18 and would like to play roller der- by or become a referee with Hereford Roller Girls, can take part in skating lessons at Weobley High School +160cm novice points fighting. Hill also took an‘ other bronze in continu- ous fighting and a gold medal in the Sub Strike up to 65kg division, defeat- ing his teammate Robbie Hearn 12-9 in the final. Sub Strike is a semi- contact continuous point version of mixed mar- tial arts, where the fight up to 16 years +160cm novice points fighting category starts standing and points are scored for strikes and takedowns. However, you can also grapple and make your opponent submit. Aiden Huttel also com- peted in five fights, win- ning two and coming third in another. Other team awards came from Daniel Gwynne (silver in points). Liam Gwynne (silver in continuous). Simon Day (silver in points), Ryan Hill (bronze in continu- ous), Chelle Banes (bronze in points) and Lisa Huttel (bronze in continuous).
