London Rollergirls penultimate bout of the season

London Rollergirls continue their most exciting season yet!


First, at 5.00pm, Edinburgh’s Auld Reekie Roller Girls take on London’s Suffra Jets. To this day a London league team have still yet to be beaten by an outside team, can Auld Reekie be the first?

Then at 7.00pm the main bout of the night begins as the Harbour Grudges play their last game of the season against the Steam Rollers. Last season these two met in the final with the Steam Rollers taking the championship.

Roller derby is one of the fastest-growing sports for women in the UK and around the world, involving speed, strength, strategy on roller skates, and all of the teams are packed with tireless athletes.

Earl’s Court also has an on-site bar and café, and a range of roller derby merchandise and independent craft and vintage stalls. The London Rollergirls’ successful charity raffle makes a return, as do the Krispy Kreme selling rollergirls, DJs, and commentators who’ll explain the game plays for first-timers. All of this and there’s also the rocking after party with the skaters at a venue round the corner from Earl’s Court.

About the London Rollergirls
The London Rollergirls formed in April 2006 to bring roller derby to the UK. We're made up of four league teams (Suffra Jets, Ultraviolent Femmes, Steam Rollers and Harbour Grudges). Our all-star travel team (London Brawling) and all-star reserves team (Brawl Saints) play teams from other cities around the world. The London Rollergirls are the reigning champions of UK and European roller derby. We play to 800+ crowds at games (called "bouts") that also include DJs spinning rock, pop and punk; charity raffles; prizes; merchandise stands and a riotous afterparty. The London Rollergirls are also one of the first leagues outside of the USA to be granted a membership with the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association – the governing body for roller derby. In April 2011 London Brawling hosted top standard US teams in the Anarchy in the UK tournament, the first ever WFTDA-sanctioned tournament outside the US. Then in September 2011 they won a place in the hard-fought East Coast Regionals. Going in ranked 10th out of 10 the team played the best roller derby of their lives to walk out with fifth place.
