Thanks for sharing Joe! After the fight between Frank and Sean Hugh requested I be the third referee that second half. Near the end of the tape I'm up at the rail during a brawl with the women and got shoved and fell head first onto the floor. Luckily I was able to rotate and landed on my back. A friend of mine sat with me the first half. He came in with an attitude the games were all an act. He left the game believing it was all legit!
I could be wrong here, but later in the IRDL and IRSL if the skater goes to the back of the pack and continues skating, he or she could score more points. Don't quote me on that, but I think it was allowed.
It has been so long since you have posted new videos..THANK YOU for these new ones!!
Glad you are enjoying the videos. I will try to upload more.

I never saw Sally Vega on the Stars, only on the Express.
Same here. This is one of those "lost games" and it was never televised.
Funny; in the ORIGINAL derby that I grew up on, once Larry Lewis's skate touched the infield, the jam would have been whistled dead!

Thanks for posting these gems. Wish there were surviving tapes featuring Lydia Clay, Eddie Krebs or Cathy Read. Did they skate in the 70’s or 80’s?
Yes, Lydia Clay skated with the Northeast Braves in the IRSL...'79 and '80.
@@JJN259 thanks! Hopefully there are tapes on YouRube.
