Tacoma’s Longest Skating Roller Derby Rivals Face-off on the Track Saturday, April 2

Tacoma’s premier roller derby league – The Dockyard Derby Dames – is rolling out a series of back-to-back bouts next Saturday at Piece College that are sure to attract another sold-out crowd of fans who can’t wait to see what happens next.

Tacoma’s toughest girls on skates are ready to face off against their fiercest rivals. After a grudge-match that’s lasted 3 seasons, the Hellbound Homewreckers are poised to take on the Marauding Mollys in the opening bout. Each with season championships under their belts, the Femme Fianna and Trampires are vying for dominance on the track. The winner secures a spot in the championship bout to take place in June.
