‘Buffalo Lil’ stampedes in Roller Derby By JON WEBBGlasgow Daily Times “There’s a very good chance you’ll end up with a roller girl in your lap (if you sit in the suicide seats),” Brian Matthews said.
Not unlike most contact sports, Roller Derby presents a risk of injury, and every time Lilian Matthews puts on a pair of skates, she runs hat-on into potential physical danger. She said team members have suffered broken noses, ribs, legs and shoulders. DCRG’s dedication and toughness impresses Bacon. “I would challenge anyone to get out there and do what they do,” Bacon said. Although Lilian Matthews said DCRG possesses its fair share of rivals and endures its fair share of violence, she stressed the rivalries don’t ever stretch beyond the action on the track. After each DCRG home bout, the teams and fans head to Louisville bar, The Monkey Wrench, to unwind and maybe even enjoy some “DCRG Heartbreaker Ale,” a beer created in honor of the team by their sponsor, the Bluegrass Brewing Company. “Just like any other sport we take rival(ries) out on the floor with our hits and playing,” Lilian Matthews said. “Then afterwards we can go the Monkey Wrench for our afterparty to hang out and dance. In the end it is all about having fun, and being a team and enjoying the sport together.” DCRG’s last home bout will be June 27 at the Louisville Fairgrounds.
