Come Watch Women's Roller Derby, Help POAC

Parents of Autistic Children provides services to families in Monmouth and Ocean counties.

They have names like Shermaine Tank, Betty Clock'r and Belle Maul Her. They dress in tank tops and crazy stockings and helmets.

And they knock each other around while skating around an oval in roller skates.

It's women's flat-track roller derby, and if you want to see it for yourself, the women are taking over the floor at the Tab Ramos Sports Center to raise funds for the Parents of Autistic Children in a doubleheader this Saturday, April 16.
