Dear Derby Fans -
We've got some great news! CRG is participating in a charity event on February 27th in Phenix City, AL, being held by Auburn's Burn City Rollers. Seven of our regular skaters will be participating in a mixed-up fun match in the name of charity and derby.
FAST CHICKS! HARD HITS! ACTION PACKED ROLLER DERBY!
Come out and watch various roller derby leagues mixed and jumbled into two teams all battling for a good cause! ALL proceeds for the bout will go towards the Spread the Love Charity. Spread The Love is a 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to fund-raising in order to support those like Stephanie (Danger S. from the Tallahassee Rollergirls) who are fighting cervical cancer and promoting awareness of the importance of early detection through regular testing.
Doors open at 6pm EASTERN and the Bout begins at 7pm EASTERN.
Tickets are $5 at the door!
Proceeds from the game will go toward a good cause so come out and watch the battle!
Donations online are welcome, so please visit the site above if you're interested in participating.

Nashville Rollergirls' Season Opener
Some of the Chattanooga Roller Girls were able to make the trek last night to see their big sister league, the Nashville Rollergirls, in their first game of the season - and what a game! Nashville took on Atlanta in a game that will not soon be forgotten.
The B Team bout was almost a complete blow out with the Music City Brawl Stars whooping the Rumble B's with a final score of 158 - 53. Jenny the Jet Rodriguez, Jersey Jackhammer, and LeeAnn Crimes jammed their hearts out and did an amazing job.
On to the second event of the night, where the Music City All Stars took the Dirty South Rollergirls to the floor.
Our Nashville sisters looked sleek and serious coming back to the track after their end of season win at the Honky Tonk Stomp and their Regional Ranking as the # 6 team (Atlanta was listed as # 5). Per usual, Rambo Sambo and Lady Fury were fan favorites, with Fury in and out of the penalty box (but doing it with style, as always) and Rambo tearing up the track.
Maulin Monroe, Slammy Lou Harris, and Rambo Sambo collectively stomped Atlanta's jammers although they put up an impressive defense with a lot of strategy and quick moves, and some hard hits from their blockers. Nashville's All Stars took the game with a final score of 108 - 73. CRG was proud to be there to support their big sisters as they opened their season with a bang!

SC Scrimmage
On the weekend of January 9th and 10th, some of our Chattanooga Rollergirls traveled to Columbia, South Carolina for a non-public scrimmage with the Columbia QuadSquad Rollergirls.
CRG was ready to play when they hit the ground for an hour long pre-scrimmage practice as a first course. Talk about a warm up!
Our girls came with jerseys in hand and worked with the Black team against a tough Red team. It was a close match with ending scores 37 to 32, with the Black team coming out the winners!
Our fan favorite Corn Smut was all over the track, ducking and dodging while skating in a low derby stance to avoid some hard hits from the QuadSquad girls. All the other CRG girls played their hearts out, getting in some great hits, serious blocks, and impressive footwork! Roy G Biv, a tough blocker on the Red team was a force to be reckoned with and even tossed our MomCore on her tail. Quad's Holly Hunter was an amazing pivot that kept the Black team held back much of the time.
Check out their roster to see some of the girls we were up against - they were a force to be reckoned with for sure!
We had a great time visiting in Columbia with such a hospitable team, ready to visit with us on Saturday night before hand for wings and a dance party - how else do rollergirls get pumped for a next day match?
CRG had a great time and can't wait to host the QuadSquad girls at the Convention Center for their first 2010 home game on May 15th! We hope to see you there!

December 13, 2009
Thank you sooo much Chattanooga! We have nothing but love for everyone who came out (all 900+ of you!) to see our very first home bout. Your support completely exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to play again on our new home turf.
The final score of the bout was The Chain Gang (black) 81 and Team Junktion (white) 66. It was well played by both sides and no one was disappointed. Oh, and just in case some of you missed the memo, both teams were Chattanooga girls. It was basically a giant scrimmage with some borrowed players from Nashville (5Scar, Fully Addomatic, Smith) and Dixie (eRacerX) that we were so thankful to have help out. This was really to show the community what we're all about and what we represent. We're looking forward to having a stream of fresh meat after the new year, so if you're interested be sure check out the recruits page for information on how to join or help out.
We're in the process of creating a pool of photos for everyone to see as well as some awesome new desktop wallpapers/ screensavers. We're on the look out for new merchandise and hopefully we'll have an online gallery set up for it soon. There's so much to be done!
Keep checking back here for constant updates.
