GOTHAM GIRLS ROLLER DERBY CHAMPIONS BRONX GRIDLOCK TAKE ON THE BROOKLYN BOMBSHELLS
Gotham Girls Roller Derby welcomes back the undefeated 2007 Season Champions, the Bronx Gridlock, in the second game of the league’s 2008 home season on Saturday, June 7th, at Hunter College at 68th Street and Lexington Avenue in Manhattan. The yellow-checkered Gridlock girls defend their title against the navy blue sailorettes of the Brooklyn Bombshells, who aren’t about to let a lil’ ol’ trophy intimidate them. For every team in the league, it’s a whole new “brawl” game – with fresh faces, new strategies and, of course, plenty of newly-minted bruises.
Get in on the action early and take advantage of the advance ticket discount online at www.gothamgirlsrollerderby.com or through www.brownpapertickets.com. Don’t miss the best season of flat-track roller derby action in New York City yet!
