MurphGuide.com is proud
to be a sponsor of the 2008 Gotham Girls Roller Derby...
Gotham Girls Roller Derby Announces 2008 Season
Schedule
Gotham Girls Roller Derby is rolling out its
2008 Regular Season Schedule, which runs from May 10th to October 25th,
featuring New York City's only all-female roller derby league. Get ready for the
fastest, hardest, most intense roller derby action ever seen in NYC, as the
Queens of Pain, Brooklyn Bombshells, Manhattan Mayhem, and Bronx Gridlock
prepare to duke it out on the track.
Last year, fans were psyched to see the
two-year-old Bronx Gridlock snatch the championship title from two-time champs,
Queens of Pain, in the last two minutes of the season-closing game. If you think
the Queens are going to let the Gridlock have the title again this year without
a fight, you've got another thing coming!
The Manhattan Mayhem and the Brooklyn Bombshells are also eager to enter the
fray, unleashing some ferocious moves of their own and proving why they deserve
to be contenders this season. All four teams are joined by twelve new rookies
and transfers, and they have been gearing up at the league's practice space in
the off-season - now they're ready to show off and throw down!
2008 Regular Season Intra-League Bout Schedule:
Saturday, June 7: Bronx Gridlock vs. Brooklyn
Bombshells
Saturday, June 28: Queens of Pain vs.
Brooklyn Bombshells
Saturday, July 26: Manhattan Mayhem vs. Bronx
Gridlock
Saturday, August 16: Queens of Pain vs. Bronx
Gridlock
Friday, September 12: Brooklyn Bombshells vs.
Manhattan Mayhem
Saturday, September 27: Post-Season Showdown
