CHANNAHON, Ill. — In their first home bout at Skateland Recreation Center in Channahon Saturday night, the Southland Slashers women’s roller derby league made an impressive showing with both skaters and fans.

All the players, juniors and adults, are members of the Southland Slashers. For Saturday night’s interleague games, however, they split up into two home teams on each level. The juniors played for either the Southland Slashers or the Chicago Riots, while the senior women played for the Bayou Bombshells or the Voo Doo Dolls.

In front of a sold-out crowd, the junior league took the flat track first with players competing for control of the track and the opportunity to score the most points.
