New venue for Richter City Roller Derby
Wellington's Richter City Roller Derby is rolling into its first game of the season at a new venue, the Kilbirnie Recreation Centre.
The Richter City Convicts will take to the track on Saturday 12th April against Whakatane Roller Derby League.
Convicts’ Captain Emear O’Connell (known as Gael Force) explained “the Convicts are a strong team, but we haven’t played for our home crowd since 2012.
“This time, we’ve got new opponents, on a new track, and we’re ready to show everyone what we’ve got!”
“Wellingtonians are great at supporting Richter City Roller Derby, and having a chance to play in front of them will definitely give us a boost!”
Roller Derby has grown rapidly in New Zealand in recent years.
Kilbirnie Recreation Centre is designed to cater for wheel-based activities including skateboarding, scootering, and roller and inline skating.
