Twin State Derby sets June double header with Queen City test

Twin State Derby packed two bouts into one night at Wendell A. Barwood Arena in White River Junction, with the Bandits opening against Shoreline Roller Derby at 4:00 p.m. before the Vixens faced Queen City’s B Team at 6:00 p.m. Doors opened at 3:30 p.m., turning the June 27 date into a long-form home card rather than a single stop-and-start bout.

The format gave fans two different viewing experiences in the same session. Shoreline set the tone first for the Bandits, while the second game carried a sharper regional edge for the Vixens against Queen City, a matchup that brought added weight to the night because the opponent sat close to Twin State in the WFTDA NA Northeast standings. That pairing made the back half of the double header feel less like a warmup and more like a test with real ranking consequences.

The pricing reinforced the league’s family-night approach. Admission was listed at $15 for adults 13 and older, $5 for children ages 5 through 12 and veterans, and free for children under 5. With two bouts on the schedule, the card offered more track time for Twin State and more value for spectators who wanted a full evening of derby action without leaving White River Junction.

The Queen City side of the card carried the clearest competitive reading. The WFTDA stats listing projected Twin State at No. 50 and Queen City Sirens at No. 48 in NA Northeast, a two-place gap that can vanish quickly in a bout shaped by power jams, penalty trouble and late-run momentum swings. Queen City’s page also showed a full 2026 schedule and a 54.08 GPA, while Twin State’s June slate kept the club in the middle of a busy run that made home dates even more valuable.

For Twin State, the double header functioned as both a public-facing showcase and a pipeline night. The opener against Shoreline offered one kind of measuring stick, while the Queen City matchup delivered a harder regional exam for the Vixens and a deeper competitive read for the league. In one evening, Twin State put both roster groups on the floor, gave home fans two distinct matchups and used the card to build momentum on and off the track.
