Maine Port Authorities crush Dirty Jersey by 180 in Skatecationland 2026
A 254-74 final turned a near-neighbor matchup into a 180-point statement, with Maine Port Authorities overwhelming Dirty Jersey in Game 5 at Skatecationland.
How did a matchup between teams separated by one spot in the Northeast rankings end with a 180-point blowout? Maine Port Authorities answered that question in the loudest possible way, rolling past Dirty Jersey All Stars 254-74 in Game 5 of Skatecationland 2026 on Saturday night at Happy Wheels Skate Center in Westbrook, Maine. The official final was the tournament’s widest margin, and the size of the win suggested Maine’s jammer efficiency, defensive wall work and track control were all operating at a level Dirty Jersey could not match.
On paper, this looked like a tight sanctioned battle. Dirty Jersey came in ranked 53rd in NA Northeast with a 5-3 record and a 43.54 GPA, while Maine sat 52nd with the same 5-3 mark and a 47.76 GPA. That one-slot difference hid a much wider gap on the track. Dirty Jersey’s recent form had included a 268-156 win over Reading on May 17 and a 152-146 loss to the Hellions on April 25, while Maine’s own history included a 167-166 win over Muddy River on June 8, 2024, a reminder that the Port Authorities are no strangers to close finishes even if this one never came close to that script.
Skatecationland itself raised the stakes. Maine Roller Derby staged the annual tournament over June 13-14, with five games on Saturday and five on Sunday, and the field pulled in teams from Maine, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Massachusetts and New Jersey. Tickets were listed at $31.80 for a one-day pass and $53 for a two-day pass. Maine Roller Derby has said the sanctioned games affect its Women’s Flat Track Derby Association Northeast rankings, so every jam carried weight beyond the local rivalry feel.
That is what makes the 254-74 result matter. WFTDA says teams must play at least five sanctioned games against reasonably close opponents to stay eligible for Regional Championships, which means a scoreline like this is not just a one-night outlier. It changes how the rest of the region reads both programs. Maine’s best ever regional ranking is 42nd, reached in May 2025, and Dirty Jersey’s highest is 43rd from November 2024, so the teams arrived with similar historical ceilings. By the end of Game 5, though, Maine had turned that proximity into a mismatch and made the event’s clearest competitive statement.
