TWO WEEKS TO GO…

Over here at LRG HQ, training for the championship bout is well underway. The currently undefeated futuristic feminists, the Suffra Jets, will take on the steam powered, steam punk Steam Rollers in a battle for the title of London Rollergirls first league champions. 

This game is not to be missed. The Suffra Jets are missing key players due to unfortunate injuries – can they retain their undefeated title without the awesome tag team of N-emma-sis and Silky Briefs? Will their amazing teamwork and speed carry them to victory? Or will the Steam Rollers defense flatten the opposition and claim the title? One thing’s for sure, this game is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat!

Here at London Rollergirls, however, we don’t do things by halves. Not content with finishing our first season proper with a game that promises to be so close you’d have to be a fortune teller to predict a winner, we have an opening game lined up for the SAME NIGHT!  LRG’s own Ultraviolent Femmes are gearing up to take on Barockcity Rollerderby from Ludwigsburg (just outside of Stuttgart according to Wikipedia) in Germany.

When I asked Barockcity to comment on their thoughts about the game they said: “Everything will be exciting and we hope that we will return to Germany in one piece. It would be nice to cheer for us too because we do not know anybody in London!”

So what are you waiting for? Tickets are on sale now through Brown Paper Tickets (if you want them posted) or our regular Paypal link on the site for collection on the door. Also from your friendly local rollergirl (if you are lucky enough to know one!)

See you on April 25th. We can’t wait!

CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT: DOUBLE HEADER!!

April 25, 2009
4:00 pmto9:00 pm

Ever thought one roller derby bout in an evening just wasn’t enough? Us too…

London Rollergirls present Grand Slam! Our season finale is a double header!

First up we’ll have our own Ultraviolent Femmes taking on Barockcity Rollerderby from Ludwigsburg, Germany, and after a short break for you to get your breath back you’ll see the Suffra Jets take on the Steam Rollers for the right to call themselves the first ever LRG League Champions!

Tickets for this double header will be limited as we oversold last time and it was all a bit crowded, so buy early to avoid disappointment! Tickets are £10 in advance this time (two bouts, though!) or £12 on the door.

Doors open at 4:00 and the first bout starts at 5:00PM.

Advance tickets are SOLD OUT!!! We may have a very limited number (15-20) available on the door.

To make sure that you are kept up to date with bout and travel announcements, join the Facebook event page or send a message with the subject “subscribe events” to info at londonrollergirls dot com.
