It's a North Island clash of the blues as Auckland Roller Derby League (ARDL) takes on Palmerston North's Swamp City Roller Rats on July 14.
This will be the second time the two teams face off this year. In February, Swamp City's A-Team The Plague took on ARDL in Taranaki. Auckland came away with a solid win, but rest assured Swamp City will be back and ready to take what the ladies from the City of Sails have to offer head on.
ARDL has just returned from a stellar debut at Australasian tournament The Great Southern Slam, where they gave tournament champions Victoria a first game run for their money, and came up on top of hard-hitting Newcastle. They're ready and waiting to show their home crowd what they're made of - will you be there to cheer on Auckland's finest roller derby skaters'
ARDL has a couple of new skaters up their sleeves who will be skating for the home crowd for the first time, and The Plague are pumped and ready to take on their first ever Auckland game. Come along and see a great game of roller derby played out in front of you!
Te Kainga Organic Meat Company is sponsoring a gourmet barbecue for all you hungry souls, and the beers will be flowing freely and cheaply from behind the bar. Make sure you check out ARDL's merch table to pick up some swag too - you'll look fine in a nice new blue tee!
Doors for this exciting event are at 6pm and the skaters roll out at 7pm. Get in early to secure a front row seat!
