SOUTHERN HOSTILITY

The Classic City Rollergirls will take on the Columbia Quad Squad in their final interleague bout of the season. "Southern Hostility" will be the first down south battle between your Athens Rollergirls and their rivals from Columbia, SC. A portion of the proceeds from "Southern Hostility" will help support Canine Companions for Independence, the CCRG sponsored charity for September. CCI is a non-profit organization that helps people with disabilities by providing them with highly trained assistance dogs.

On Sunday, September 21st, the Classic City Rollergirls will battle it out against the Columbia Quad Squad. "Southern Hostility" will feature three periods of hard-hitting roller derby as well as intermission entertainment by Elijah. The bout begins at 7pm (doors open at 6pm) at Skate Around USA, 3030 Cherokee Road, in Athens. Roller derby is family friendly, so bring the kids! Admission at the door is $10 for adults, $5 for children 6 – 10 and children under 6 are free! Adult tickets can be purchased in advance for $8 through any rollergirl or on our Web site. Please also join the rollergirls for the after-party at Kingpins in the Homewood Hills Shopping Center.

CLASSIC CITY CRUSHES DIXIE DERBY GIRLS

On July 20, the Classic City Rollergirls traveled to Huntsville, Alabama to face the Dixie Derby Girls' B-Team in "Classic City Crush." The bout marked the debut of jammer Psycho Deluxe, jammer/blocker Wunder, and blockers Holly Millions and U.B. Trippin'. While the Dixie Derby Girls hoped to crush Classic City, their wish went unfulfilled. Eventhough team regulars Thrashley, Pound Cake, Dirty Hippie, Janna the Slamma, Demanda Rumble, and Shanimal were absent, CCRG turned the tables and crushed Dixie by a score of 112 to 61.

Many thanks to the Huntsville ladies for their marvelous hospitality, insane after-party, and a tremendous bout!

For those of you unable to make the trip to Huntsville, you can still catch all the action. We'll be hosting a viewing party in the near future. Hope to see you there!
