Grand Raggidy Roller Girls VS Ohio Roller Girls - DOUBLE HEADER!
Saturday, November 21, Michigan VS Ohio State, the real match in Grand Rapids! Your Grand Raggidy Roller Roller Girls host 2 teams from Ohio Roller Girls in the All Stars and G-Rap’s last team match of the season.
The All Stars have matched up against Ohio on three other occasions, all victories. Ohio is looking and more prepared than ever to take home a win. With GRRG WFTDA ranked #10, and OHRG ranked #11, this should be a great match-up. GRRG refuses to get pushed out of that precious top 10.
G-Rap Attack faced Ohio’s Gang Green in last year’s Fall Brawl tournament. G-Rap was a pretty green team at that time, and fell to hard hitting OHRG’s. With G-Rap having a full season behind them and some fresh blood - watch out for retaliation.
OHRG has also been a fierce competitor on the dance floor. We’re sure both teams with be heating up the dance floor following the event at Sazerac!
Date: Saturday, November 21, 2009
Time: 5:00pm - 10:00pm
Location: Rivertown Sports, 2605 Stanford Ave SW, Grandville, MI
Tickets available at the door.
Purchase tickets for our Griffins event at the game and you have a chance to win one of two Zamboni rides!
