SUBURBIA ROLLER DERBY ANNOUNCES SECOND SUMMER BOUT SEASON AT
MURRAY’S
Suburbia Roller Derby (SRD) of
Westchester
NY, today announced its summer bout schedule, featuring
four bouts to be played at the
E.J. Murray
Memorial Skating Center in Yonkers. Suburbia Roller Derby,
formed in June 2007, is made up of over forty women from
Westchester and southern Connecticut communities, and is now
a member of the Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby Association
(WFTDA).
The bouts will feature bouts between the league’s two
home teams, The Botoxic Avengers and Indian Point Sirens, as
well as two bouts between the league’s travel team of
all-stars, Suburban Brawl, and travel teams from the
Tri-State area. The season schedule is as follows: May 30
(Suburban Brawl vs. Jersey Shore Roller Girls), July 11 (SRD’s
Indian Point Sirens vs. The Botoxic Avengers), August 1
(intra-league championship or fun bout) and August 29
(Suburban Brawl vs. Long Island Roller Rebels).
The Indian Point Sirens defeated
reigning champions, The Botoxic Avengers in the opening bout
of the championship, 81-72, on April 25. Suburban Brawl has
come off of an impressive 179-22 defeat of the visiting
Utica Clubbers, an away win against the Hudson Valley
Horrors, 118-29, as well as a well-played exhibition bout
loss to the National Champion Gotham Girls of New York
City’s Wall Street Traitors team, 55-39.
“The League is looking forward to returning to Murray’s
for the summer season and we are very pleased with the fact
that our bouts at the Yonkers P.A.L. attracted as many as
500 people this past spring,” said SRD President, Karla “Ann
Sane” Sisto. “With the cooperation of the City of Yonkers
and the E.J. Murray Memorial Skating Center, Suburbia is
pleased to bring Westchester another summer season of fun,
affordable family entertainment.”
These bouts will be held at the E.J. Murray Memorial
Skating Center, 348 Tuckahoe Road, Yonkers, and start at
7:00 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at the door or in advance
