SKATERS from across Greater Manchester will go head-to-head in a mixed-sex roller derby bout in Oldham to raise money for the victims of the Manchester Arena terrorist attack.

The Thunderdome in King Street, home to the female team Rainy City Roller Derby, will host the game on June 17.

It will also feature skaters from the Knights of Oldham men's team, the mixed-sex Manchester Roller Derby and the all-female Arcadia Roller Derby.

Doors open at 3pm and the game starts at 4pm. Entry on the door is a minimum £5 donation for adults, under 16s £1. There will also be a home-made cake sale and a raffle.
