Annual Munster Mash gets rolling

The first annual Munster Mash roller derby was a nail-biting affair last night with two closely matched teams setting a blistering pace in what is fast becoming a hugely popular sport in Ireland.

Hosted by Cork City Firebirds, the adrenalin-fuelled event took place in the Neptune Stadium.

The Cork team, along with Limerick Roller Girls and Waterford City Viqueens, formed two squads of 13 players each, Munster Mayhem and Southern Slayers, to stage a roller derby showcase.
