Cymru Clash
The Championship event, the Cymru Clash, will be our largest to date with 12 teams over 3 days competing for the gold. Our June rankings gave a bye to the top 8 teams in the MRDA where they will be joined by the top 2 finishers from each playoff to round out the bracket. Actual seeding will be determined by September Rankings so expect to see these top 8 teams working hard all summer even though they’ve already punched their ticket to the main event.
This momentous tournament will be held in Cwmbran, South Wales co-hosted by South Wales Silures Roller Derby. This 3 day event kicks off October 13th.
