The Riveters are hungry to close their travel season with a victory in front of their home crowd when they face the Long Island Roller Rebels All-Stars.  

Stay to see the sparks fly in Providence’s first public exhibition of men’s derby as the Providence ladies face their own travel team coach and the men of the Mass Maelstrom in the second game of the evening!  

This will be the final travel team bout before the ladies head back to Providence to play out the rest of the year with home team match-ups between the Old Money Honeys, Mob Squad and Sakonnet River Roller Rats.

The competition is family friendly.  One ticket grants admission for both bouts. Arrive early for the best seats!

When battle is done, all fans welcome and encouraged to rub elbows with the skaters at Rocky Point Pub! The pub is at 1705 West Shore Road, Warwick, RI.
