Phoenix, AZ (September 9). It's the state's newest and fastest growing all-girl Roller Derby League, the Arizona Derby Dames who are back with a fantastic line-up. September will mark the beginning of the leagues Season Two Playoffs. Round 1 consists of the 4th seeded team the Schoolyard Scrappers taking on the Season One Champions the Brutal Beauties. The naughty schoolgirls will take on the beauty pageant rejects in a fierce fight for a spot in the Championship bout.
The Castle Sports Club is located at 11420 North 19th Avenue Phoenix, AZ 85029-3604 (602-331-2582). Doors will open at 7.00 p.m. with the bout starting at 8.00 p.m. Advance tickets can be purchased for $8 at the following locations: Bookmans, Cage World, My Ruka's Garage, Eastside Records, DentBob, Drawn to Comics and the Castle Sports Club. Tickets will be $10 the night of the bout. EMT's receive free admission as well as children under 12.
The last time the Brutal Beauties and the Schoolyard Scrappers met on the rink the Scrappers gave the reigning champs a run for their money, resulting in the closest score of the season, with only a 13 point difference. The Schoolyard Scrappers are the Leagues newest team in 2006, but have gained a large following due to its charismatic Captain Rowdy Roulette. However, the Brutal Beauties are undefeated in 2007 and are under the strong guidance of the steadfast Captain Kamikaze Kiwi. Whatever the outcome is, that team will automatically advance to the Championship and will be one step closer to receiving the coveted Arizona Derby Dames Championship trophy. Halftime music will be provided by local habit-wearing rockers "Nunzilla".
Veteran roller girls Suzy Homewrecker, Joan Threat, All The Way Mae and Prima Donna started the Arizona Derby Dames league in the summer of 2005. "Some girls are experienced skaters and have skated with other all-girl leagues; some are brand new to the game but now have excellent skills and are ready to compete. Either way it is going to be one hell of a good time" according to Homewrecker.
To add to the festivities concessions will be available, and AZ Derby Dames merchandise featuring logos and images of your favorite teams and skaters will be on sale. Raffles will be held for derby goodie bags. This will be a family event. Don't miss the party. And after the game follow the Dames to their official Party venue, Hazelwood's First Place Bar and Grill, on Indian School just east of 36th Street.
The Arizona Derby Dames will be returning to the Smoke Out West Chopper Fest in Cottonwood on Saturday October 6th for an outdoor exhibition bout, bikers beware!
