We’re now into the third month of the 2016 Kansas City roller derby season, and I think it’s safe to say we haven’t been disappointed. All three of the main leagues that we cover — KCRW, Fountain City, and the Blacksnake Rollergirls — have proven to be very exciting, competitive, well-matched leagues this season, and it’s safe to say roller derby fans in this town are certainly getting their money’s worth.
April promises to be every bit as exciting, so here’s the schedule, and we hope to see everyone there. This month’s bouts are not to be missed.
