Blue Ridge Rollergirls French Broads vs. Appalachian Rollergirls Booneshiners

16 Jul 2016

On July 16, 2016, the Blue Ridge Rollergirls (BRRG) will be celebrating their 10th anniversary by bringing back its original home teams comprised of all local players, the Candy Apple Razorblades and Wham Bam Thank You Ma’am’s, at the U.S. Cellular Center in downtown Asheville. The double header evening will begin with BRRG French Broads facing off with another regional team, the Appalachian Rollergirls Booneshiners, followed by the special home team bout at 7 p.m. The home teams are a way for BRRG to have some fun, bring back some of the old fashioned rivalry, costumes, and theatrics of the roller derby revival in the early 2000’s. Tickets are $13, available for purchase at the U.S. Cellular Center box office. Children 10-years-old and younger will receive free admission. $2 beer specials for guests 21+.
