LOS ANGELES HOME TEAMS SIRENS AND TOUGH COOKIES TAKE TO THE BANK ON OCTOBER 22ND.
LOS ANGELES DERBY DOLLS HOME TEAM FAVORITES FACE-OFF ON THE BANKED TRACK.
Los Angeles – Saturday, October 22nd will see Los Angeles Derby Dolls most notorious rivals skate face to face on the banked track for some intense, nail biting roller derby. There has always been a lot of track tension between three time champions Tough Cookies, who have repeatedly snatched the title from the hard hitting Sirens. However, 2011 has seen a turning of the tables. Will Sirens add another win to their undefeated season record, ensuring their place in this year’s championship game and showing the Tough Cookies they are going all the way? Or will Tough Cookies fight back to keep those cops in cookie custody? Come join us at The Doll Factory, located in historic Filipinotown, for a game that should not be missed!

About the L.A. Derby Dolls:
Founded in 2003, the L.A. Derby Dolls (www.derbydolls.com/la) are Southern California’s premiere women’s banked-track, quad-skating, roller derby league. Within the league, five fierce teams battle for dominance: Fight Crew, Sirens, Swarm, Tough Cookies and Varsity Brawlers. 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.
