Saturday, January 21st, 6pm (doors @5pm) @ Memorial Coliseum - The first intra-league bouts of 2012 take place in one huge night of derby with two full, back-to-back bouts! First up, it’s Game 1 with the ice-queens, the Heartless Heathers, taking on the flat track rock stars, the Guns n Rollers. Then, in Game 2, it’s the high octane Break Neck Betties vs.the risk-taking dames of the High Rollers. Last season, the Betties came out in first place, followed by the High Rollers (2nd), Heartless Heathers (3rd) and Guns N Rollers (4th). This season, it’s anybody’s guess, so come see for yourself!
