Looking to fill your Saturday night with a little more action? Head to Riverworks at 7PM on Saturday, April 21st to cheer on your Lake Effect Furies as they take on Philly Roller Derby! If you’ve never seen a travel team game before, get ready for fast-paced gameplay filled with quick feet, strategic moves, and lots of heavy hits.

The internationally ranked (17th) Lake Effect Furies will be battling Philly Roller Derby’s Liberty Belles, currently ranked 27th worldwide. These teams both skated well at the 2017 International WFTDA Playoffs in Dallas last season, but not against each other. Now they have the chance to face-off and see who comes out on top.

Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance at https://www.qcrg.net/tickets/. $15 will get you in the door and $20 will get you prime-time front-row seating. So grab your family and friends and head out to Buffalo Riverworks on April 21st to cheer on your Queen City Roller Girls!

The Queen City Roller Girls (QCRG) have had their home in WNY for eleven years and are in their 12th season. The 2018 year will be their fourth season at Buffalo Riverworks. QCRG has five teams: The internationally ranked (#17) Lake Effect Furies, the B-level travel team the Subzero Sirens, and three house teams: the Alley Kats, the Devil Dollies, and the Suicidal Saucies, with over 70 skaters ranging in ages from 18 to 50.  QCRG is an all-volunteer run organization supporting WNY charities at every game. 

QCRG is a member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) which has over 1,000 member leagues on every continent. Roller derby is one of the fastest growing sports in the world, as well as one of two full-contact sports for women (the other one is rugby).
