~ On July 10, watch OKC Roller Derby team play Tulsa's team in OKC

Storm Predicted with Tornados and Thunder

So far the stormy season in Oklahoma has been mild. This will change on Friday, July 10 at 7pm when a 100 mile gap will close in on itself. Tornados and Thunder will crash into each other making women bruise, men scream and children hide their eyes.

Tulsa’s Green Country Rollergirls (GCRG) are traveling down the Pike to be smacked with some neighborly hospitality from Oklahoma City Roller Derby (OKCRD). GCRG are loading up their Thunder Dollz to see what kind of damage (if any) they can do against OKCRD’s Tornado Alley Rollergirls. The Historic OKC Farmers Market, 311 S. Klein, will be the site of this colossal storm.

Tornado Alley Rollergirls (TARG) are coming into this game with a 3 win streak and they are not ready to tarnish it. Ajax, a loyal TARG fan since its origination in 2006, has noticed “the team has really grown over the season. From bout to bout the girls are improving and playing together with increased team work. Going up against the gals down the road is going to be one exciting time and I can’t wait to see my home team send those Thunder Dollz back to Tulsa crying”
The two teams have befriended each other on and off the track. They practice together, socialize together and support each other at competitions. How will they fair as adversaries? Don’t miss any of the dramatic action!

Beer and merchandise vendors accept cash only. Tickets at the door are $12. Advance tickets can be purchased online at OKCtickets.com or from your favorite roller girl for $10. Tailgating starts in the parking lot at 5 p.m., and doors open at 6 p.m. The bout begins at 7p.m. and will consist of two 30-minute halves.
