In a town fueled by passion and adrenaline, Gippsland Lakes Roller Derby has been dominating the rink for more than a decade.

With their lightning-fast moves and strategic gameplay, these roller derby warriors have captured the hearts of locals and fans alike. The energy in the stadium is electrifying as the teams clash and jostle for victory.
Next month, the Gippsland Lakes Roller Derby (GLRD) will travel across the state to compete in the Statewide Stampede with members of other clubs from across the state that make up Team Regional Victoria (TRV).
The Statewide Stampede Victorian Roller Derby Tournament commences on Saturday, April 20, hosted by Ballarat Roller Derby League in Daylesford.
