VICTORY, VICTORY, VICTORY!
... and two more for good measure.

After winning the WFTDA Championship, the 2012 season wasn't quite over for the Gotham Girls.
On November 17th, the Wall Street Traitors traveled to Raleigh for a date with the
Carolina Bootleggers, defeating the hosts, 153-127.
Over the Thanksgiving holiday, our All-Stars traveled to Australia to compete against the
Los Angeles Derby Dolls in a series of three banked track bouts produced by
Roller Derby Xtreme, held in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.
Our New York heroines swept all three bouts, lifting their all-time record on the banked track to 4-3 and claiming their crown as queens of the sport, on any surface.

After those three banked victories, Gotham's All-Stars concluded the season with a sanctioned 329-56 intercontinental flat track victory over
Victorian Roller Derby League of Melbourne.
The season closed out with a perfect 16-0 record on the flat track, and with 30 consecutive flat track victories dating back to 2010. The trip, which also included local training sessions, cemented the league's position as international superstars and ambassadors of the sport.
