Demonburgh Junior Roller Derby, Edinburgh’s junior roller derby league, secured a resounding victory at the 5Nation North Junior Championships, defeating Newcastle Junior Roller Derby by 422 – 278.
The victory cements Demonburgh’s place in the national play-offs in September.
Heather Weatheritt, Demonburgh coach, said: “This victory reflects the incredible growth and determination of our skaters. Over the past year Demonburgh has not only developed as a team but also as a supportive and ambitious community. Seeing our skaters take on such a competitive game and come out on top shows just how far we’ve come – and we’re only getting started!”
The win is particularly special as it coincides with the league’s first anniversary as a registered charity, marking a year of remarkable growth and success.
To celebrate this milestone, Demonburgh is hosting A Day in Demonburgh – an expert coaching clinic featuring world-renowned roller derby coaches Optimus Grime and Doodle.
Taking place at Meadowbank Sports Centre on Sunday 13 April, the event will offer Level 2 and Level 3 skaters a unique opportunity to refine their skills with elite coaching.
