Slideshow: Sonoma County Derby Girls Still Winners After First Loss to Brawlin' Betties

The Sonoma County Roller Derby HomeWreckers took to the track in there home opener at Grace Pavilion in Santa Rosa Saturday night before about more than 1,000 fans in the season's first game.

"We more than doubled our old venue, at CalSkate in Rohnert Park," said Erica Hart, or Honey D. Linkwent, as she's known on the track. "We're estimating 1,200 fans came, and when we sold out at CalSkate we maxed out at 750."

The HomeWrekers' next home game is June 18 against the Santa Cruz Boardwalk Bombshells. The game will be the first where the girls are playing for national rankings under the Women's Flat Track Derby Association.

"We're very competitive," D. Linkwent said.

Sonoma County Roller Derby is in the process of securing a new permanent location in downtown Santa Rosa.
