The first match up was the Scars and Stripes vs. The Bill of Fights, followed by The Patriot Axe vs. the Baberaham Lincolns .The double header with a four team mash up of Spindletop and Houston Roller Derby skaters may have been a scrimmage; however, you couldn’t tell by the fierce game play!

The final bout started with C-Rex (Patriot Axe) as lead jammer scoring nine points and Emma Propriate sneaking in three points before the jam was called off. In the third jam, Baby Face Assassin had the advantage starting on the line alone while her opponent remained in the box.
