SuzyHotrodVSBonnieThunders

 
The Queens of Pain face off against the Bronx Gridlock in an epic rematch between last year's Championship contenders, who will be fighting for the title of 2008 Gotham Girls Roller Derby League Champions! These two hard-hitting teams are so evenly matched that the last three bouts they've played have been won or lost by just a few points in the final minutes of the game. This should be the most brutal, competitive bout of the season.
 
All-Stars Bonnie Thunders, Ginger Snap, Brigitte Barhot and Beyonslay from the Bronx Gridlock, and Donna Matrix, Cheapskate, Ana Bollocks, Bluebonnet Plague, Scarlett Rage, and Suzy Hotrod from the Queens of Pain represented New York City pride, skating together at the Derby in Dairyland Eastern Regional tournament in Madison, WI, earlier this month, where the All-Star Team took the Eastern Regional Championship Title for the second year in a row. But they return to New York City as enemies on the track, all eager to claim the Championship Title in the Big Bad Apple...

The end of the Championship game will mark the start of the post-season, which means the start of recruitment for the 2009 Season! Gotham Girls Roller Derby will be hosting tryouts for next season's rookies on December 6th. Interested skaters should visit the Recruitment FAQ page on our website to find out more information about pre-tryout skills nights and additional details on recruitment.
