And absolutely incredible end to the game. The BRD tactics were absolutely insane, as Laurie sees out a memorable win, especially after two exceptionally close losses yesterday. That’s all from us folks!

JAMMER ON JAMMER! Laurie takes lead and immediately gets four points before blocking the Namur jammer! AND BRD GET A POWER JAM! Massive MASSIVE SCENES. BRD HAVE DONE IT! The local crowd seem to be in shock!

NRD 108 - 141 BRD

Now Yelmet powers through and obtains two points! But Namur sneak in on the inside and grabs three points for themselves. We’re now having an official review…

NRD 108 - 135 BRD

[Birmingham Roller Derby UK @Birminghamroll2]

Another absolutely massive jam for BRD. Kat passed the star to Jo and the gap widens again!

NRD 105 - 133 BRD

And Laurie takes full advantage to grab and absolutely MASSIVE twelve points. FIVE MINUTES TO GO

NRD 103 - 126 BRD
