Your GGRD All-Stars have brought The Hydra - women's roller derby's most coveted trophy - back to New York City.

Gotham defeated the 2010 champions (Rocky Mountain), the 2006 champions (Texas) and the 2009 champions (Olympia) to climb once again to the top of the derby world.

Read how it happened in our writeup from Thomas Gerbasi, the archive on Derby News Network, or in the New York Daily News
