TOOWOOMBA City Rollers enjoyed twin success in its double-header against Coastal Assassins Roller Derby at Toowoomba Showgrounds on Saturday night.
The night started off with a 258-113 win to the Range Renegades before a gutsy 214-165 victory from the Mountain Resistance.
"We've never done that before so it was really, really exciting," TCR president Ellen Grinham said of winning both home bouts.
The Rollers top team had only seven skaters to rotate through the five places on the track and were reduced to six in the first minute, which meant the squad had to dig deep.
"The Mountain Renegades game was a bit eventful. We only had seven players to start the bout with. You usually start with 14 players," Grinham said.
"And then 22 seconds into the bout one of our blockers was expelled for high contact.
"We played nearly the whole bout with only six players. With six players, you have to play every single jam.
"A lot of other teams with six players would have forfeited."
