Dear friends:
Saturday, July 9, was an evening of mixed blessings for the B.A.D. Girls. After a successful Championship event at the Craneway Pavilion on the Richmond Harbor, league members who were transporting the money raised from the event were robbed at gunpoint.

Saturday’s roller derby match at the Craneway Pavilion in Richmond saw another win for the undefeated Richmond Wrecking Belles against the Berkeley Resistance, with a score of 130-98.
The Berkeley Resistance is the newest team in the league.
From the WFTDA site: “The Golden Girls of roller derby may struggle with finding a venue, but they don’t struggle when it comes to winning fans!
