The Rocktown Rollers, a local roller derby team, returns to Augusta Expo in Fishersville on Saturday, March 23.
After a hiatus, the Rollers return to challenge the Virginia Beach-based Dominion Derby Girls in a doubleheader at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Founded in Harrisonburg, the team has worked the past two years to recruit new and veteran skaters from Staunton, Augusta County, Waynesboro, Charlottesville, Richmond and beyond.
This full-contact sport is a showcase of quad skating skill, strategy, hits and grit: “it’s like rugby on wheels without a ball, and it’s a damn good time,” according to a news release.
The Rocktown Rollers A Team will play the DDG All Stars at 1 p.m. The Rocktown Rollers B Team will face off against the DDG Seven City Sirens at 4 p.m.
Doors open at noon.
Augusta Expo is located at 277 Expo Road in Fishersville.
