L.A. DERBY DOLLS' FIGHT CREW TAKE ON THE VARSITY BRAWLERS
THE FINAL BATTLE TO CHAMPS!
Los Angeles –It's the final showdown before Championships - October 20th will be a game not to miss! L.A. Derby Dolls’ Fight Crew will meet the Varsity Brawlers on the banked track in a contention to victory. This intense match up will be the determining factor for who will go to the 2012 Championships on November 3rd against The Sirens. Fight Crew are flying high after their recent win over San Diego Derby Dolls' The Swarm, but will this be enough steam to see them victorious over the ladies in purple? Or will the Varsity Brawlers pick up the war paint, dig their skates into the track and show everyone exactly why they deserve to advance to Champs? May the best team win! Come see the action live on Saturday, October 20th at the Doll Factory, located in Historic Filipinotown.

About the L.A. Derby Dolls:
Founded in 2003, the L.A. Derby Dolls ( HYPERLINK "http://www.derbydolls.com/la"www.derbydolls.com/la) are Southern California’s premiere women’s banked-track, quad-skating, roller derby league. Within the league, four fierce teams battle for dominance: Fight Crew, Sirens, Tough Cookies and Varsity Brawlers. The L.A. Ri-Ettes are L.A. Derby Doll’s all-star team that competes on a national level against the best of the best in the country. While their uniforms may be stylish and their names playful, do not be fooled by appearances – the L.A. Derby Dolls are athletes who skate a sport that is unscripted and real. Honored as a Treasure of Los Angeles by the Central City Association, the L.A. Derby Dolls embody the do-it-yourself, “for the skaters, by the skaters” ethos of modern women’s roller derby.
The L.A. Derby Dolls are one of only thirteen leagues in the U.S. playing roller derby on a banked track. Like most modern female roller derby leagues, the Derby Dolls are volunteer-run and give back to the community that has embraced them. The league also operates the Junior Derby Dolls for girls ages 8-17.
