The Molls will take on the dolls in the GRG's second intraleague bout - Bonnie & Collide!

The GRG first split into the Molls & the Dolls last Sptember, aided and abetted with guest skaters from the Lovely London Rollergirls it was a wild game - heart stoppingly close and ending in a draw! So both teams are out to win this time - the kid gloves are off!

Bonnie & Collide will take place in the ARC Sportscentre on Saturday the 30th of May. Adult tickets are £7, Under 14s are only £4 and under 5s get in for free! This time the teams will be joined by guest skaters from both the London Rockin Rollers and our Scottish Sisters the Auld Reekie Roller Girls (Edinburgh)

'''

If you've never seen a rollerderby bout before - then dont miss this chance! These girls are used to skating together as a team... so they all know each others game - they are gonna have to pull some pretty special moves out of the bag if they want to win this time!

In with the new!

2009-04-24T05:16:00.000-07:00

The Glasgow Roller Girls are always on the lookout for new recruits - but if you want to join us as a skater, just how should you go about it?

Well starting as of May 2009 the first SUNDAY afternoon practice of every month will be open to brand new recruits. If you are a brand new skater and you want to come along and have a go then this is the night for you!

*****

In order to actually skate with us you will need the following kit:
- Quad Roller Skates
- Knee, Wrist & Elbow pads
- A Helmet
- A mouth guard (You will need one of these if you decide to keep skating with us - Not something you want to borrow from one of us!)

*****

If you already have all of these or can get them before you come along then thats great!
But if you havent skated in years and want to have a go before you splash out on any kit then please get in touch with us to let us know and we can try and organise some skates and pads for you. The best way to do this is to get in touch with us through our MySpace or Email us to let us know when you plan on coming along.

Rollerderby is a terrific sport - but its also a fantastic way to get fit, make new friends and nurture your wild side! So come along and visit us on the first Wednesday training session of the month - you'll have a great time.... and your first training session is free!

Check out our calendar and venue maps to the right for more information.

We all look forwards to skating with you soon!
