Bad News Betties outlast Vendettas at License to Thrill
By The Nelson Daily Sports
The Bad News Betties of Trail avenged a loss from last season by dumping the Valley Vendettas 196-158 at the License to Thrill Women’s Roller Derby doubleheader action Saturday in Castlegar.
In the other game Salmo’s Babes of Brutaility blasted the hometown Dam City Rollers 209-67.
The doubleheader was the latest in the West Kootenay Women’s Flat Track Rolley Derby League.
Bad News Betties are one of the two expansion teams in the league this season.
During exhibition action the Valley Vendettas put a thumping on the Betties.
However, Saturday Silver City squad was able to outlast the Vendettas to steal the win.
Meanwhile, Salmo’s Babes continue to get better every game out.
Castlegar, the surprise from last season, has struggled this season — especially Saturday. Salmo started fast and never looked back.
