THE SIRENS FACE OFF AGAINST FIGHT CREW IN AN EPIC SEASON OPENER BOUT.

Los Angeles – After an exciting start to 2012 with all top talent bouts featuring all-stars, The L.A. Ri-Ettes battling New York’s Gotham Girls in addition to Team Bionic, the highly anticipated home season will begin on Saturday, April 14^th with the Sirens coming face to face with the Fight Crew. The Sirens had an incredible 2011, claiming the coveted L.A. Derby Dolls championship title. Will the Sirens’ winning streak continue throughout the new season or will this be the game to put the ladies in blue in lockdown? After landing 3^rd place in the 2011 home season, Fight Crew is back as the first team to skate against the reigning champs.  Fight Crew won the Derby Dolls Championship back in 2006 and will be battling to claim it once again this year. As with all Derby Doll bouts, this will be a fierce, nail biting, on the edge of your seat event not to be missed.
