Two local teams from the Jersey Shore Roller Girls will battle it out Saturday, Aug. 22, in Asbury Park Convention Hall.

The bout is also a collection point for the Monmouth County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, where fans can drop off items such as pet food, toys and supplies from 5 to 10 p.m.

The roller derby bout's doors will open at 7 p.m. and the game will start at 8 p.m. The female athletes of the Murder Beach Militia and Anchor Assassins teams will serve up the fierce blocks and jams that roller derby is known for when Asbury Park's Convention Hall is transformed into a roller derby rink.

The event marks the last intra-league match-up for the Jersey Shore Roller Girls 2009 season before the league championship in November.

The winner of this bout will advance to the championship to play the undefeated Right Coast Rollers.

The night of derby mayhem will be a fulllength bout where the women don their derby personas and showcase their skills as skaters hit, dodge and block to get through the pack and score.

Jersey Shore Roller Girls, a league that formed almost two years ago, skates under the Women's Flat Track Derby Association rules and regulations.

Besides the promise of an intense bout, and the chance to help out the Monmouth County SPCA, patrons who show a military identification will receive $5 off the $20 ticket price the day of the show.
