GET YOUR SKATES ON: Toowoomba's Ricky Moss. Dave Noonan TOOWOOMBA skater Ricky Moss earned the distinction of being Australia's best in the country's first men's international roller derby bout.
Australia's men's team, known as the Wizards of Aus, recorded a comprehensive 330-120 win over New Zealand in Sydney on Saturday to cap a great debut on the men's international roller derby scene.
Better still for jammer Moss, he was judged as best for the Wizards of Aus in the big win.
"I earned MVP for Australia. It felt pretty good actually," Moss said.
"You just know that all of the hard work you had done has shown."
As a jammer, Moss scored plenty of points for Australia but conceded New Zealand was a more formidable opponent than the score-line and their expectations suggested.
"Their walls were a lot tougher than we expected," he said.
Moss will be back training with his Toowoomba squad, the Highland Hunters, tonight to help prepare for their bout on August 31 against Sydney Smash Bros at Port Macquarie.
