They're a group of women not to be messed with – especially on roller skates.

They're a Mount Maunganui-based roller derby team and they've got a war to win this weekend.

Mount Militia prepae to take on Whakatane tonight.

On Saturday, the Mount Militia Derby Crew's B Company is taking on Whakatane Roller Derby's Black Pearls in the Neighbours at War bout at Queen Elizabeth Youth Centre.

Roller derby involves teams skating around a track – with two ‘jammer' skaters from opposing teams trying to speed past the opposition's crew of blockers.

Skater Becky Klein says this will be the third bout against the Whakatane team. So far the scores are one-all, so all will be laid out on the line tomorrow.

'We're all pretty pumped and excited to get out there and play some derby.”

The game on June 6 will be the Mount team's first home game this year. Doors open at 5.30pm, game starts at 6pm. Tickets cost $5 for adults and $2 for children under 12.
