Championship Series: Night One

By Park and Wreck  

Fountain City Roller Derby’s Championship series kicks off with a sizzle and a bang this Saturday night. It’s a special double header featuring both Woman’s and Co-ed derby, with a surprise expo bout from FCRD’s very own Zombie League!

First to take the track will be the Royal Pains taking on the Lovely Lethals. Both teams have fought long and hard to earn their place on the track, and at the end of the night one team will earn Third place and a lot of bragging rights. These strong contenders will leave you on the edge of your seats.

Though the Pains were edged out of the final champs game by the Deadly Sirens during the June Woman’s bout, they won’t give up their place on the podium easily. With hard hits and solid defensive walls, the Pains are a force to be reckoned with.

And fans won’t want to miss witnessing the Lovely Lethals speed around the track. The Lethals have had a great batch of rookies join their ranks this year, and they’re hard work and dedication has paid off. The strong front lines will be hard to penetrate, and those agile Jammers are almost too quick to catch. This game will showcase some great skill on both teams, so don’t be late!

 

Stick around to watch the Co-ed teams dominate, with special guests Benton County Roller Derby going up against the Public Enemies. These teams are full of talent and strength, and you’ll want a great view of this showdown.

The Public Enemies were knocked out of the champs running by the Untouchables during the July bout, but are revving to come out victorious and place Third. The Pubs have versatile pivots that lead the way for their quick offense.

Benton County will give the Pubs a run for their money with a roster of strong skaters and tons of awesome derby knowledge under their belts. It’s always a pleasure to watch these friends of the league take the track!

But that’s not all! During the half time break you’ll get to see a special expo bout featuring Fountain City’s up and coming skaters of the Zombie League! These ladies are fierce and learning derby at a fast pace. The Zombie League gives these budding athletes an opportunity to grow, and it’s split into two teams: The Black Plague and The Gang Green. Pick your favorite color, or favorite skater, and come show it off in support!

Doors open at 5:30 and the first whistle to start the action is at 6! Join us at B&D Skate Rink in Independence for an amazing night of fast paced derby!
