havent seen that movie, but im interested in quads not inline skates, thought it wud be a good way to ghet fitter and a bit more fun. ive never really been a team sports kinda gal so im not sure about the roller derby, just wondered if anyone else is interested at all.

Hi,
I was just wondering if you got any replies about a roller derby in Kildare?
Ive always wanted to get involved with it,but i dont like the thoughts of going to Dublin for it.
Thanks,
Loniy.

Still anyone interested in starting up a Kildare roller girls, be interested in meeting up and planning this out? No one is ever too old, small, thin, large to start roller derby everyone is welcome and useful in the sport and one of the best skaters out there Suzy Hotrod of Gotham roller girls in NY started out not knowing how to skate. It’s not the skill that ultimately makes a good player but the commitment and dedication to the sport. If you practice anything long enough you will eventually get good at it.

I'm a recent addition to the Maynooth population ...
I'm interested if anyone else here is.
Did most of the fresh meat training before getting injured ... now getting over dislocating my knee from a fall while running - injuries are inevitable in life

Did anything ever come of this? There are teams popping up all over the country and it would be brilliant if there was a kildare team. It's brilliant fun and a great way to get fit. I've done some fresh meat and lots of NSOing. I'm in the newbridge/naas area. Let's do this!!!
