Roller Derby SWAT B vs Bath Roman Rollers

Roller derby season is now in full swing so going to be visiting lots of Bouts.
Trying to learn a second form of sport photography has been a bit of a learning curve.
I was not sure what people wanted out of the photos often challenging conditions in the sports halls and flash photography is a little frowned upon.
You will see a lot of expensive glass pointed at roller derby as not using flash you need to grab every available crumb of poor lighting (honestly some sports halls have really shoddy lighting)
I don't have £3000 to spring for some F2.8 wide angle lens and if I did I'd question what else I should have spent the money on...
So I am getting by shooting high iso and being smart with my position in the hall to get the best results I can.
Been my third year shooting Derby and my good shot ratio is getting better.
Here are some of my shots from the last game.

Refs need huddles too...

one of the other photographers shoots in this style thought id have a shot see if it worked for me...  
Nailed it but nope not for me...
