"Co-Ed Roller Derby has recently taken hold of the traditionally female sport, and Fierce Valley Roller Girls want a piece of the action! Scottish Men's team, The Jakey Bites, have already played with Dundee's Silvery Tayzers and Aberdeen's Granite City Roller Girls, but how will they fare playing against (or with!) FVRG's Parma Violents? Both teams will be taken out of their comfort zone as each line-up will feature male and female skaters. So what will these mixed teams be called? Violent Jakeys and Parma Bites, naturally."
