LOUISVILLE, KY- On April 5th, WFTDA hopefuls Derby City Rollergirls went head-to-head against their upriver neighbors, Cincinnati, Ohio’s Black Sheep travel team. CRG was the most experienced opponent DCRG took on in their spring meet, and the crowd at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center was aquiver with excitement, as DCRG went into the bout mentally ready for the challenge of playing a team that had built a reputation for speed and aggressiveness — but Cincy’s greater experience would be prove to be too much for Derby City, as the visitors took the win 181-41.

"A group representing various people in the Phoenix Roller Derby Community have established a new league in Phoenix.

The new league is completely independent from the existing leagues in the Valley and was not created through any kind of "split" from the other leagues.

This league will consist of female & male teams as well as a co-ed team that will also be the travel team.

The new league has already applied for and has received approval to operate under the auspices of the Old School Derby Association thus bringing the western United States their second OSDA league.
