Neighborhood: July 2007 Archives

May the best borough win, and by best borough, I mean Brooklyn, of course. Fellow blogger Zeebahtronic is a Gotham Girls Roller Derby girl and asked me to get the word out about her next match:

The next bout on Saturday, July 14th, between the Brooklyn Bombshells and Queens of Pain promises to be another thrilling installment in the exciting 2007 GGRD season and you don't want to miss it! Queens has been the dominating champions for the past two seasons, but is hungry to dish out some punishment after losing to the Bronx Gridlock at the season opener (118-107). Brooklyn is fresh from their win against the Manhattan Mayhem two weeks ago (86-66). The last time Queens and Brooklyn met on the track, the Bombshells ended the 'Pain's undefeated record - can they sink them again? Come see the battle!
