MRD swinging into summer interleague season


You didn't think Championships would stop us from playing roller derby, did you? With the seventh season under our belts, MRD is now gearing up for summer interleague season. Your Dairyland Dolls and Team Unicorn will spend the hottest months of the year burning up tracks across the country after kicking things off in Madison this month.

Saturday, May 21, the Dairyland Dolls and Team Unicorn will take on the Naptown Roller Girls' Tornado Sirens and Warning Belles of Indianapolis, Indiana at the Alliant Energy Center Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The doors open at 5 p.m. and the first bout starts at 6 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door, half price for kids ages four through 10, and free for kids under three. Proceeds from the bout will benefit Sister House, Inc., an organization with an innovative vision for women transitioning from prison, jail, or AODA treatment into the community. Visit sisterhousemadison.org for more information.

Then on Sunday, May 22, the teams will roll over to Milwaukee for the Second Annual Brewhaha tournament, a tasty overdose of derby with 20 bouts in two days. At 12:30, Team Unicorn will play St. Louis' Saint Lunachix, the up and coming stars of the Arch Rival Roller Girls, and at 6:45 the Dairyland Dolls will face Milwaukee's Brewcity Bruisers Allstars in the tournament's feature bout.
