Bath Roller Derby Girls (BRDG) is a roller derby league based in Bath. Founded in 2012, the league consists of women from Bath and the surrounding area. As of May 2015, the league is a member of the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association (UKRDA).

As a regularly competing league, BRDG has played over a dozen ranked bouts as well as having played one international bout and are currently competing in the British Championships (Tier 4 South West)[1] and the South West Season. The league currently has two bouting teams drawn from all league skaters; Bath Spartans (A Team) and Roman Rollers (B Team). The Bath Home Girls is formed from non-bouting skaters and the Bath Skeleton Crew is the league's official crew, providing skating and non-skating officials for home and away games.

History[]

The league was founded in 2012 by several local skaters. They held their first public session in September of that year and henceforth began holding regular training sessions.[2] Half a year later, the league held their second recruitment intake and numbers begun to increase[3] with a third intake following in November of that year. In April 2014, they played their first international game against Lisbon Grrrls Roller Derby, taking home a 152-132 victory.[4] Currently, the league is focussing on its tournament commitments as well as preparing for a new recruitment intake starting in July 2015[5]
