Looking for something to do after Devastation on Saturday night? It’s time for games seven and eight of the Arizona Derby Dames 2010 banked track roller derby season, with the competition for August playoffs positions heating up. The undefeated Coffin Draggers take on the once defeated Bombshells while the Brutal Beauties and Runaway Brides battle each other hoping for their first win of the season. They'll be tearing up the track on Saturday, June 19 at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum! Bookmans is proud to be a sponsor of the Dames again this year.

The Coffin Draggers have defeated both the Runaway Brides and Brutal Beauties by large margins this season, but now they must face the Bombshells, whose nail-biter of a game against the Schoolyard Scrappers in May show them as one of the strongest teams on the Dames’ banked track this season. Though up by 11 points at the half, the Bombshells lost in the end to the Schoolyard Scrappers in May, but sent a message to the rest of the teams that they a contender for the championship this year. The Coffin Draggers bring a long-standing, cohesive line up to the track in 2010. The years of experience the core of this team has skating together could be an advantage in this expected close match.

Both the Runaway Brides and Brutal Beauties are rebuilding their rosters this season with the departure of multiple vets at the end of 2009 on both teams. Neither team has claimed a victory on the banked track in 2010, so the battle is on to break their losing streaks. Both teams have impressive recently added rookies and the drive to claim their first victory of the season. Another expected close game, this is not to be missed.

At the end of June, the weekend of June 25 through 27, the Arizona Derby Dames will have a team competing in the Battle on the Bank III annual banked track roller derby tournament in San Diego, against other banked track roller derby leagues from around the United States.
