The Roller Derby World Cup will be happening in England next month and a team of women representing the West Indies are looking to make their mark.
Roller derby is an extremely physical, full contact sport and from February 1-4 teams of women from all over the world will descend on Manchester, England to represent their respective nations.
Team West Indies will be one of the 38 nations competing for glory on the roller derby track. The team consisting of women based in the UK and US are representing St Kitts, Guyana, Trinidad, St Vincent and Jamaica and they’re looking to bring the fiyah once again.
Representing St Kitts, captain of the team Simone Radway, AKA Violet Attack, an 11-year veteran of the sport said “We’ve been training very hard over the past year and the team has gone from strength to strength. We’re stronger and more skilled than last time around and we’ll be going into this tournament ready for all the challenges it will bring.”
“We’re proud not only to be representing the West Indies and our respective islands, but also black female athletes, who are underrepresented in our sport. I can’t wait to lead this team at the World Cup and show the world what West Indian women are made of.”
