Julia Killhard, Posh Slice, Freyda Nuffin; they aren't characters from a James Bond film but monikers for members of a fast growing sport in WA known as roller derby.
In roller derby, each team has five members on the track with the jammers trying to make as many laps as they can, while the other team's blockers try and stop them.
The bout, with regular interchanges from the bench, goes for an hour with jams consisting of two minutes or less.
