Roller derby making a comeback
ONEONTA – Roller derby is making a comeback, and local bouts are scheduled Mother’s Day weekend at Interskate 88 in Oneonta and in Homer.
Tonight, Oneonta’s Derailing Darlings face the CNY Wonder Brawlers’ B Team at Interskate 88 in the “Mother May 1 Roller Derby Bout” with the first whistle at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, roller derby action continues at the M.M. McDonald Sports Complex in Homer in the “Mother of all Bouts” as Cortland’s Crown City Rollerz face the Broome County Rollers’ Parlor City Tricks with first whistle at 6 p.m. Tickets are $10 per person at Saturday’s event.
“There are more sports out there that people don’t know about or don’t realize are there,” said Norwich resident Sarah Ulfik, who is a member of the B.C. Rollers. “Even though the events are mostly in Cortland, Oneonta and Binghamton, the teams are still comprised of many men and women from Chenango County. This weekend is one of the first that all of the teams are playing locally, and it’s Oneonta’s last bout of the season.”
Roller Derby is now flat track roller derby as opposed to the banked tracks that dominated countrywide competitions for decades. Most area teams promote their teams on social media or have their own websites. Ulfik also said that local teams are typically steeped in charitable work. “We try to do volunteer and community service in different towns wherever we can,” Ulfik said.
