This Saturday, June 12, 2010, the Salt City Derby Girls will host their third double header bout of the 2010 season at the Salt Palace. The all-star team, Salt City Shakers will take on a traveling opponent in a WFTDA sanctioned match against FoCo Girls Gone Derby (Fort Collins, Colorado). The bout will begin at 6:00 pm, followed by a bout between Salt City Derby Girls home teams, the Bomber Babes vs. The Leave it To Cleavers.
The Salt City Shakers bouted against Fort Collins in 2008, with Salt City winning the match 135 to 91. Two seasons later, Salt City Shaker captain Alexa Rough says, “I think that we will be able to make this our second win against Fort Collins. We learned some tough lessons in our last game against Lava City, but those have only made us a better team.” Fort Collins’ FoCo Girls Gone Derby were established in 2005 and have been ranked by WFTDA since 2009, and more information can be found through their website, www.focogirlsgonederby.com.
Salt City Derby Girls teams, the Bomber Babes and the Leave it to Cleavers will close the evening with an almost evenly matched game. “Both teams have excellent jammers, and a nearly equal amount of new players,” says Grand Slam Brakefast, co-Captain of the Bomber Babes, “we really hope we can make this our first win as a team since 2007.” The Leave it to Cleavers, just off of an unexpected win against the Sisters of No Mercy in May hope to continue their streak of winning and hope to make 2010 their third consecutive league championship.
Tickets for the June 12th bout are $12 in advance. Available at SmithsTix and The Bayou. Price is $16 at the door.
Also this summer, the SCDG will be hosting a bar crawl on June 26th with details to be posted on the Salt City Derby Girls website.
