Utah’s three newer women’s flat-track roller-derby leagues may have gotten earlier starts this year, but the originals, the Salt City Derby Girls, are planning the most ambitious 2010 season of them all:
Six doubleheader home bouts over six months, culminating with the SCDG Championship in October.
Tonight’s twofer kickoff—featuring the all-star Salt City Shakers (who slaughtered Las Vegas’ Sin City Rollergirls in Nevada last month) taking on Bend, Ore.’s Lava City Roller Dolls first, then home teams Sisters of No Mercy and Death Dealers going skate-to-skate—promises three hours of the fastest and most brutal roller derby Utah has seen since … well, since the 2009 SCDG Championship last September.
Salt City Derby Girls Season Opener @ The Salt Palace, 100 S. West Temple, April 24, doors 5 p.m./bout 6 p.m. SLCDerby.com
