Time flies when you’re having fun! April marks the five year anniversary of the Grand Raggidy Roller Girls League! What better way to recognize this special day than by having a double header against the Cincinnati Roller Girls.

The G-Rap Attack will kick off the event playing against the Cincinnati Silent Lambs. With a fresh lineup and high spirits, the Attack is ready to get on the track and get down to business. Be sure to get there early to get a good seat! This game is sure to be a fantastic start to a mind-blowing evening with your favorite roller girls!

Following the Attack, the second game of the evening will showcase the All Stars versus the Black Sheep. The All Stars have matched up against the Black Sheep on multiple occasions, but have not yet claimed a victory. The All Stars will be going into this match with a winning record and hope to continue the streak. Cincy is currently ranked fourth in the North Central Region. There is no doubt that CRG will be a worthy competitor. GRRG is more prepared than ever and wants to take the win.
