Die-hard roller derby fans in Kansas City already know the Missouri River Rollers held their first bout of the season last Saturday night in what’s become known as the St. Patrick’s Day Smackdown.

The Zombie league of Fountain City Roller Derby tripped up to Atchison, Kansas to face off against the River Rollers, but fell short by a final score of 126-69, bringing the MRRs to 1-0 on the season.

Of course, we’ve got photos.
