ATLANTA -- Two Atlanta Rollergirls teams will soon battle for the title of toughest derby team in town.

The Sake Tuyas and the Toxic Shocks will take each other on in the championships at the Yaarab Shrine Center Sept. 10. They already beat out the Apocalypstix and the Denim Demons; those teams will compete in a "Grudge Match" before championship play.
