The Arch Rival Roller Girls will host their season opener November 5th at the Midwest Sports Complex in Queeny Park (570 Weidman Road, Ballwin, Missouri 63011). The double-header event will replicate in team line-up only last season's local championship; pitting the M-80s and the Smashinistas in the first bout of the evening, followed by a tussle between the Stunt Devils and newly formed Rebel Skate Alliance. However, heavy roster changes across the board will give spectators an entirely new experience.
