Charlotte Roller Girls bring roller derby back to Charlotte

Jan. 27, 2008

Charlotte hasn't seen roller derby in town since the 1970s. But about 3,000 people came out Sunday night to Cricket Arena as Charlotte Roller Girls played the Quad Squad from Columbia, which won the bout 87-78. A portion of the proceeds from the event were to be donated  to Friendship Trays. Below are trackside scenes and other photos. Video clips here.
