There are only a handful of home game matches left for this year for our Grand Raggidy Roller Derby.
This weekend, our girls hit the rink at Grandville’s Rivertown Sports to take on the Brighton Roller Dollz of Brighton, Michigan and Killamazoo Derby Darlins’ from Kalamazoo, Michigan.
This double header starts off with our junior team, the Grand Raggidy Attack, going up against the Brighton Roller Dollz’s C and B teams. If you are a betting person, then you will be happy to know that the numbers have been crunched and our Attack team is favored heavily with a 94 percent rating to win this match. The last time these two teams went up against each other was in 2014, and we beat them at that time.
After the Attack’s match is the main event with our Grand Raggidy’s All Stars taking on the Killamazoo Derby Darlins’. And while we have a history of playing Killamazoo often, it has been a year since we last saw these two popular teams from our region of the state go head to head in the rink.
Statisticians rank the Grand Raggidy favorably to also win this game with a 90 percent chance of victory. In layman’s terms, this matchup has the predictable potential to become a high stakes scoring event, with our All Stars landing 34 to every 19 points Killamazoo scores.
In honor of Grand Rapids Comic Con, this year’s roller derby match is tipping its hat with a Comic Con themed night, so be sure to dress up as your favorite comic book character.
Stop by the bomb-squad table and pick up a few comic-related props to have your photo taken at the booth. And, as always, the girls will have plenty of fun-filled activities for adults and kids to enjoy while our two teams seek to bring home a victory.
Immediately after, the girls will invite the visiting teams, along with their fans, to join them at the Rezervior Lounge (1418 Plainfield NE) for their afterparty, which this time is following the Comic Con theme into the late night with a dance floor full of roller derby rowdies unlike any other event in our city.
Those attending the afterparty in their favorite cosplay costume are free to enter the costume contest for a chance to win some terrific prizes!
Admission: Ages 6-11 - $8, Ages 12 and over - $12 prior to game day or $15 at the door
