In March 2010 the league were successful in obtaining a grant from the South Yorkshire Community Foundation Grassroots Grants programme [3]. This allowed the league to organise their first home bout at Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in August 2010.
Ten members of the league completed the Goodwood Roller Marathon in August 2010, raising over £1,000 for the Sheffield Children's Hospital.
