Fargo Moorhead Derby Girls
The Fargo Moorhead Derby Girls (FMDG) is a roller derby league based in Fargo, North Dakota.
Launched in 2008 by Sara Rundlett, the league currently consists of two teams, Northern Pains and Furies, who compete against other cities. The league began with two home teams, Fighting Suzies and Monkey Wenches, and one travel team, Northern Pains. In the Summer of 2010, in response to increased league membership, FMDG expanded to four home teams: Fighting Suzies, Monkey Wenches, Haute Dishes and BattleScar Galactica, and two travel teams: Northern Pains and Furies. Due to decreased membership all home teams were suspended in 2012, just prior to their fourth season.
