More spooky Halloween scrimmage photos! 👻😮

📸

Last night was our final scrimmage of the year, and it was spooooky. 👻 We had a great time with silly penalties, random challenge jams, and scary costumes. See you next year! ✌

In a couple of weeks our awesome crew of developing skaters head to Taupō for The Fresh and The Furious 2024! We can't wait to cheer them on 🤩 Check out all the Richter skaters in these team lists!

We encourage you to check out this wonderful spotlight on Iko Iko - a community treasure here in Pōneke that is coming up on thirty years of business! They are a Cuba Street staple and always bring the fun and creativity when it comes to gift-buying (or innocent window-shopping). Richter City are so thankful for Iko Iko's continuous support and for their greatest contribution to us - our beloved Furious George!

Hari huritau, Iko Iko ⭐️

What a wonderful weekend we had at Tonomana Reti Rapa. Thank you Swamp City Roller Derby for organising such a great tournament - we appreciate all the work that went into hosting four other leagues! We had a blast, met some awesome skaters, and played some fun derby 💜🛼💚

Tonomana Reti Rapa 2024
E ngā tīma mai i tawhiti,
e ngā tīma mai i tata!
Kua hui te kaha, kua hui te maia, kua hui te hauora o te wā nei!
Ka tika me mihi atu mātou o Swamp City Roller Derby ki a koutou katoa, me whakanui te tū rangatira o ngā tīma. Ka mutu pea!
Waihoki, ka rere kau ana ngā aumihi ki ngā kaitautoko katoa e ārahi ana i te tonomana nā. He mīharo katoa ā koutou mahi, ā koutou āwhina hoki! Tīhei mauri ora!

Words cannot express our gratitude for all the support and encouragement we received and witnessed at our amazing Tonomana Reti Rapa in the weekend.
To every pair of ringaringa (hands) that helped with preparation behind the scenes; to every waha (mouth) that blew a whistle or spoke over a microphone; to every pair of waewae (feet and legs) that covered metres of the venue as you walked, rolled or ran around to do your mahi (job/work); to every pair of karu (eyes) that looked out through a lens or carefully watched the events that were unfolding as the weekend progressed, we are forever grateful and are truly appreciative of the time you all took out of your personal lives to come and tautoko us at Swamp City Roller Derby as we hosted a pretty mean Tonomana. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Nei a mātou e noho whakaiti ana.
Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēna tātou katoa!
