Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://5thblockerskates.co.uk:
5th Blocker is Owned and operated by Shona Marshall , a retired Derby skater from Glasgow Roller Derby. Skated Derby from 2010 to 2018, played in the Irn Bruisers and played at first 2 Roller Derby World Cups for Scotland in Toronto and Dallas, and played in many tournaments all over Europe, UK and the US.
The shop opened on November 19th 2011 because there was no Roller Derby shops in the UK and skaters had to order from the States making things difficult to get the sizing right and expensive to change so we tried to fix that!
