More info on our July 24 home bout against Dutchland Blitz! #fb

The Jersey Shore Roller Girls’ all-star team will face off against the Dutchland Blitz roller derby team at the JSRG All-Stars first home bout of the 2010 season on Saturday, July 24.

The Jersey Shore Roller Girls’ all-star travel team is undefeated so far this season, having played Harrisburg Area Roller Derby and Long Island Roller Rebels respective teams away. Now JSRG returns home to Asbury Park to take on their Lancaster-County sisters, the Dutchland Blitz.

The two teams will meet for the first time ever July 24 at the legendary Convention Hall in Asbury Park, a night that promises to be full of fast, furious roller derby action.

Attitude won’t be the only thing dished out that night, though. As always, the Jersey Shore Roller Girls – a roller derby league representing Monmouth, Ocean and northern Atlantic counties - have partnered with a charity for this bout. Clean Ocean Action will be on hand during the bout to educate attendees about what they can do to protect the ocean, while mere feet away from the Atlantic Ocean itself. Convention Hall overlooks the ocean and is on the boardwalk in Asbury Park. Clean Ocean Action works to improve the water quality along the Jersey Shore and north to New York maritime waters.

The July 24 roller derby bout also pairs with the Wonder Bar for the bout after party. Across the street from Convention Hall, the Wonder Bar will offer those bout attendees with a wristband no cover charge.

The roller derby bout itself will prove to be another exciting evening of women’s flat-track roller derby. Roller derby is the newest, extreme sport for women rapidly sweeping the nation. Roller derby has been re-vamped into a flat-track version of the old-school style of a bank track. This is the real thing, not an orchestrated match-up. Jersey Shore Roller Girls, a league which formed three years ago, skates under the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association rules and regulations.

Doors open at 7 p.m. Whistle blows at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the door, $15 with military ID and $5 for children. To buy tickets now online, visit www.jerseyshorerollergirls.net.
