Two forty-minute bouts, back to back 

 

Gotham's girls in black and blue defend our turf!

 

Bombshells vs. Washington D.C.'s All-Stars

Queens vs. Philly's Heavy Metal Hookers

 

The DC Rollergirls feature a big-hitting lineup including star blockers Soledad, Gun'Her Down, Guantanamo Babe, Hooah!Girl, and the nimble point-scoring machine Yankee Scandal.  Expect a hard-hitting game with plenty of explosions of power in the pack, plus the return of Brooklyn's newest star, jammer Wild Cherri.

 

The Heavy Metal Hookers feature some of the best skaters in the region, including Philly All-Stars and perennial Gotham nemeses Teflon Donna, Copper Top, The Cycrone!, and Wendy Whiplash.  With no shortage of Gotham All-Stars on the Queens roster, these rock-n-roll-themed squads both hit the track with top-flight talent.

 

This event is sure to sell out.  Can't decide which Gotham squad to root for?  Buy your tickets now and root for both!
