Roller Derby at the Jersey Shore, July 12
ROLLER DERBY TO INVADE ASBURY PARK CONVENTION HALL
SATURDAY, JULY 12
Local women to offer up exciting skating battle for the Shore!
ASBURY PARK – The exciting world of roller derby will descend upon the Jersey Shore as two local teams from the Jersey Shore Roller Girls league battle it out Saturday, July 12 in Asbury Park Convention Hall.
The women athletes of the undefeated Right Coast Rollers team and the debuting Anchor Assassins team will serve up the fierce blocks and jams that roller derby is known for, as the Convention Hall is transformed into a roller derby rink.
The event marks the second intra-league match-up for the Jersey Shore Roller Girls, who have prepared a night of derby mayhem in a full-length bout where the women don their derby personas and showcase their skills as skaters hit, dodge and block to get through the pack and score.
Captains for both teams said that with at least three practices a week at Rollermagic Skating Rink in Jackson, the skaters have been working hard to prepare for an exciting combat on wheels.
"It's the Anchor Assassins' first bout and we're beyond excited for it,” said Ms. Ciri Ganguzza, the captain of the Anchor Assassins. Skating as “Ciri L. Killer,” Ms.Ganguzza leads her team to an exciting face-off against the Right Coast Rollers.
“We've been working really hard for the past few months in preparation and it's definitely paying off. The majority of our girls will be bouting for the first time and although they've had a short time period to advance a long way, they've done a great job,” Ms. Ganguzza said.
Right Coast Rollers has Eva “Angry Beaver” O’Neill as its captain. Ms. O’Neill said her team can’t wait to take on the Anchor Assassins.
“The Right Coast Rollers have been training hard for this one. We are up against a new group of upcoming skaters that have proven to be a strong team,” Ms. O’Neill said. “But we are the returning champs full of experienced players and plan to stay undefeated and sink the Anchor Assassins.”
Also as part of the can't-miss activities that night is a performance by local alternative rock greats Wicker Hollow, who will undoubtedly add their song “Roller Girl” to the set list.
Tickets are on sale now for $15 at www.jerseyshorerollergirls.net for the Saturday July 12 bout. Tickets are $20 at the door. Children under 12 are admitted free. Doors open at 7 p.m., the whistle blows at 8 p.m. Adults 21 and over to drink.
The Jersey Shore Roller Girls league consists of three intra-league teams -- the Murder Beach Militia, the Right Coast Rollers and the Anchor Assassins -- and one all-star travel team. Its members -- women of all ages and backgrounds -- fill the Jackson Skating Center for grueling practices several times weekly, training and scrimmaging with their coaching and referee staff. The next bout is Saturday, Aug. 30, when the Murder Beach Militia will square off against the Anchor Assasins.
Roller derby is the newest, extreme sport for women rapidly sweeping the nation. Roller derby has been re-vamped into a flat-track version of the old-school style of a bank track. This is the real thing, not an orchestrated match-up. Jersey Shore Roller Girls, a league which formed just over a year ago, skates under the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association rules and regulations.
To find out more information about the Jersey Shore Roller Girls league please go to www.jerseyshorerollergirls.net. The league is always accepting new recruits, and no previous skating experience is necessary. Anyone interested in being a skater, referee, a sponsor, or just wants to help out please email jerseyshorerollergirls@yahoo.com.

Jersey Shore Roller Girls!
ROLLER DERBY TO INVADE ASBURY PARK CONVENTION HALL
SATURDAY, MAY 17
Local league defends the shore against “Bennys”?
ASBURY PARK –Is it Locals versus the “Bennys”? The Jersey Shore Roller Girls will battle Essex County-based Garden State Roller Girls in a bout to take the Asbury Park Convention Hall by storm on Saturday, May 17. The ladies of the Jersey Shore Roller Girls All-Star Travel Team will defend their home turf, as the Convention Hall is transformed into a roller derby rink.
The event marks the second inter-league bout for the Jersey Shore Roller Girls, who have prepared a night of derby mayhem in their bid to continue an undefeated season.
"We have our tongue in cheek when we say it’s the Locals versus the Bennys, as every year the Jersey Shore is greeted with tourists from North Jersey, the area the Garden State Roller Girls are from," said derby girl Linda Scillia. One of the Jersey Shore Derby Girls' league organizers, Mrs. Scillia skates with the JSRG All-Stars as Sleaze Side Sally. All the women have derby personas that will be in full force that night.
"This event is going to be a really high energy, intense, nail-biting event," Mrs. Scillia said. "Both teams have been training hard and no one wants to loose. There is bound to be tons of action and of course the roller girls! Come expecting to have a great time!"
Also as part of the can't-miss activities that night is a performance by local surf rock greats The Coppertones.
Four women with a love of roller derby decided to start a league for Ocean and Monmouth counties last year, and the Jersey Shore Roller Girls league is now more than 70-women strong. With the All-Star team’s second bout at Asbury Park Convention Hall May 17, the culmination of months of grueling practices will come to fruition, as the team hopes to remain undefeated this season. Last month, the JSRG All-Stars defeated the Lehigh Valley Special Vixens Unit, 202-58. Discounted tickets are available now at http://www.jerseyshorerollergirls.net/ for the May 17 bout. Tickets are $20 at the door. Children under 12 are admitted free. Doors open at 7 p.m., the whistle blows at 8 p.m.
The Jersey Shore Roller Girls league consists of three intra-league teams -- The Murder Beach Militia, the Right Coast Rollers and The Anchor Assassins -- and one all-star travel team. Its members -- women of all ages and backgrounds -- fill the Jackson Skating Center for grueling practices several times weekly, training and scrimmaging with their coaching and referee staff. On June 7, the Jersey Shore Roller Girls will host an intra-league match-up between the Right Coast Rollers and The Anchor Assassins.
Roller derby is the newest, extreme sport for women rapidly sweeping the nation. Roller derby has been re-vamped into a flat-track version of the old-school style of a bank track. Jersey Shore Roller Girls skates under the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association rules and regulations.
The league women receive top-notch training from an ex-ice-hockey coach who leads the players in endurance drills and practice bouts, demanding that each woman take the proper time to train to be prepared to play such a rough and intense sport. The players weave, dodge and block each other in order to get their team to score, and although the women wear protective gear at all times the risk of injury is quite high. For these women though it is a chance they are willing to take!
