In Stockton, the Silicon Valley Roller Girls will be taking on the home team, the Port City Roller Girls. SVRG's primary team, the Dot.Kamikazes will be playing the Port City primary team The Rough and Ready Betties for the first time. Although Port City has a notorious home field advantage with their slippery polished concrete floor, this bout is sure to be a close one as Port City was victorious last month over the Santa Cruz Derby Girls who Silicon Valley had defeated twice this season.
In Antioch, the Undead Bettys will be hosting the Central Coast Roller Derby league all the way from Paso Robles, CA. The Bettys are in their first season and looking to secure their first win against the WFTDA league, CCRD.
And in Santa Cruz, both of the Sac City Rollers travel teams will be battling the two travel teams for the Santa Cruz Derby Girls. The Boardwalk Bombshells will be facing the Capitol Punishers while the Harbor Hellcats will be trying to defeat the Folsom City Bruisers. It is unknown at this time whether skaters on either league who play for both their A and B teams will be pulling double duty for this bout. This close-to-Halloween double header is aptly themed as Zombie Night, so come in your best "Thriller" costumes.
It appears that the only Northern California leagues not playing this weekend are the Nor Cal Roller Girls, Sacred City Derby Girls, and Sonoma County Roller Derby. Wherever your location in the northern part of the state, there is a bout nearby for you. So who will you be heading out to see?
Comments
No double duty for Sac players. We have enough for both rosters. There will be several new faces on the Bruisers. 4 are transfers from other leagues, some our new up and coming skaters for Sac, some are familiar faces from this season. It should be a great night of derby.
