The league was started in 2007, by a group of founding members including Jackie Mason ( derby name Jack Attack). [3] At the time, there were only two other roller derby teams in the UK: the London Rollergirls and the Birmingham Blitz Dames.
The team participated in the UK's first ever closed-door, interleague scrimmage (practice game) against Birmingham on 1 July 2007.[ citation needed] They made history again later in the year when they played the Stuttgart Valley Roller Girlz in Europe's first international bout on 14 October, which they lost 94-71. [4]
In 2009, the league presented their first home bouting season at the historic York Hall in Bethnal Green. [5] The league also hosted its very first intraleague bout on 27 February 2010, a closely fought bout between the Voodoo Skull Krushers and the NeanderDolls. [6]
In January 2012, London Rockin' Rollers competed in, and won, the UKRDA's "Tattoo Freeze" tournament. [7] In June, several of LRR were part of the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony and the 2012 Summer Paralympics opening ceremony. [8] In September, Kit Kat Power represented Team Sweden against USA Roller Derby and Jack Attack represented Team England, also against Team USA.[ citation needed]
In October 2012, the league was accepted as a member of the WFTDA Apprentice Program, [9] and became a full member of the WFTDA in September 2013. [10]
