Jersey Shore Roller Girls vs Suburbia Roller Derby in Asbury Park's Convention Hall!!

The Jersey Shore Roller Girls will battle it out against the Suburban Brawl from Suburbia Roller Derby (Yonkers, NY), this Saturday, July 23rd at Asbury Park’s Convention Hall!! The last time these two fierce teams met (in 2009), tempers flared, helmets flew, and ultimately Suburbia came out victorious with a definitive 158-23 win. With two more years of training and the support of the fantastic fans at home, the Jersey girls will be ready to deliver a performance they can be proud of on their quest for redemption. This is bound to be one of the fastest, roughest bouts of the season! As if the bout, boardwalk, and beach weren’t enough (not to mention the always possible visit from the Boss himself), the crowd will also be treated to the regular set of family-friendly shenanigans including the kilt-loving bag-pipers and the Chuck-A-Duck half time game after which the winner will receive a free gift basket full of JSRG goodies!!

JSRG will be bringing out their biggest talent for this evening of women’s roller derby.  As they look to replace the loveable, charismatic Bertha Control (sadly leaving for the majestic mountains of New Mexico), JSRG will have a fresh sound for the evening with some old favorites and some visiting friends including former JSRG rock star – Bone Crawford and the always fabulous, multi-talented Chesty McBruiser. While these ladies call the play by play action, keep your eyes peeled for the amazing team of indefatigable JSRG jammers; Push Popp, Ciri L Killer, and M8T. Protecting these lovely ladies while shutting down the opposing jammer will be the hard-hitting, wall-building group of JSRG blockers; Toastface Killah, AC Skater, Black Eye Betty, Belle Maul Her, Jersey Violet, Alabama Whirley, Whippin' Wheels, Joy Kill Her, Wicked Kitty, Tamel Toe Stomper, and Hot Rod Hussy.

As always, the Jersey Shore Roller Girls - made up of hard working women from Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, Mercer and surrounding counties - have partnered with a local charity for this bout to support and promote a very worthy cause. Representatives from Asbury Rock Stars Charities  will be on hand during the bout to educate attendees about their mission and to spread the word about their upcoming Annual Charity Softball Event taking place on August 27th in Neptune, NJ. Learn more about this fantastic group and how to get involved at http://www.asburyrockstarscharity.org/

Stick around after the July 23rd bout as JSRG pairs with the Wonder Bar for the after party! Directly across the street from Convention Hall, the Wonder Bar will offer all bout attendees with a wristband no cover charge. The roller girls will be on hand and fully energized for any fans that want to keep the party going!!

Roller derby is the newest, extreme sport for women rapidly sweeping the nation. It has been re-vamped into a flat-track version of the old-school style of a bank track. This is the real thing, not an orchestrated match-up. Jersey Shore Roller Girls, a league formed in 2007, skates under the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) rules and regulations.
