Big week for Birmingham’s Tragic City Rollers, a doubleheader and recruitment drive

No Birmingham Legion FC or Birmingham Iron this weekend?  No worries.

Here is something totally new. Check out the Tragic City Rollers, Birmingham’s  competitive roller derby league today at the Zamora Temple beginning at 4:00pm.

Tonights Bouts

In roller derby language they call their events “bouts”.   Tonight, Birmingham will be competing against teams from Nashville and Tuscaloosa. The first hard-hitting bout starts at 5:00 (doors open at 4:00) with the Tragic City All-Stars taking on the Nashville Roller Derby.  For the nightcap, the Iron City Maidens host the Druid City Dames at 7:00.

Established in 2005, the Tragic City Rollers is part of the Woman’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). Our league in the Magic City is considered one of the most competitive in the South.
