Bear & Grill was packed with people interested in the CT Rollergirls.  A lot of people didn't know that the sport was still alive and there is renewed interest in the area.

It is not a paid sport and the non-profit organization does work with local charities with fundraisers and great family entertainment.

There was support from Death Quad, the local men's rollerderby team who is out of Waterbury.  The next bout for the team will be at the Sports Center, 21 Bradley Road in Woodbridge, tonight,  April 16 at 7pm.
