The Garden State Rollergirls (GSR) will battle it out on Saturday, Oct. 12 to see who will win the 2019 Intraleague Championship.
The Gateway Grim Reapers will have to defeat reigning home-team champs, The Northern Nightmares if they want to claim their first championship title since the team was founded in 2015.
However, Nightmares co-captain BlackEye Betty doesn’t plan on letting her team give up their title, “The Nightmares have been spinning our silk to create the best lineups,” she said. “We plan to be intraleague champions again and we are taking every step to ensure that it can happen.”
The two will go head-to-head at the Inline Skating Club of America in North Arlington on Saturday, Oct. 12. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. and the first whistle is at 8 p.m.
Spectators should be sure to get their tickets in advance at brownpapertickets.com. Admission is $15 at the door and $10 online.
Fans will also be able to purchase GSR merchandise and participate in a bake sale and raffles.
