Auld Reekie take on Dublin!

Auld Reekie Roller Girls will kick off the 2016 international season when our All Stars take on top-ranked Irish team, Dublin Roller Derby, on Saturday 2nd April!

Boosted by incredible support from a huge home crowd, Edinburgh took a solid win over Newcastle Roller Girls in their season opener earlier in the month.

Despite the win, we are under no illusions that we will face tough opposition from Ireland’s strongest roller derby team. We have only faced Dublin Roller Derby once in the league’s history, which saw our B team defeated. In an interesting turn of events, some of those B Team skaters who suffered defeat at the skates of the Irish are now a part of the A Team – and you can be sure, they will have a score or two to settle.

In a change to the usual daytime fixture, the game on Saturday 2nd will move to an evening slot.

As always , we will have plenty of activities to keep the entire family entertained. These will include local craft stalls, merchandise, a well stocked bar, tasty cake stalls and a kids’ area with crafts and face painting.

Doors open at 17:10 at Meadowbank Stadium in Edinburgh. Tickets here in advance for only £5, or on the door for £8. Anyone unwaged or over 60 gets in for only £6 on the door.

As always, under 14′s are free, as is anyone with a disability leisure access card (plus carers).
