If you're interested in checking out some roller derby action this weekend, you can head to Maple Creek for an exhibition match. This will be a great opportunity to meet and play with some girls from other teams.

"We got a bunch of girls coming, I think there's even a couple girls coming from Minot," said Nikki Cherington on the Redneck Betties squad. "So we split the girls up into two teams. It's a bit different because you've never played with some of the players before, so it's a new experience to meet some of the other girls, even get some new tricks."

"It makes me feel like everybody's sort of catching the roller derby spirit that we've all caught. That's important to us our fans, not only for the Betties but for roller derby in general."

The derby starts at 6pm at the Maple Creek Arena.  The Betties last home game will be September 8th in Swift Current.
