The first bout, against the Gainsville, Fla., Roller Rebels featured some of the hardest-hitting action you will ever see, and something you don't see everyday: A referee had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital with head injuries after a fall. He is reported to be doing fine now. The final score (215-63) does not indicate how close this bout was or how hard-fought it was.
The second bout — against the Carolina Bootleggers from Raleigh — was a nail-biter from the start. BRRG outlasted them in the end 157-112.
Saturday, August 25, is the next home bout, a doubleheader against Atlanta, Ga., and Vero Beach, Fla., teams.
