History
GO-GO Gent Roller Girls was the first roller derby league in Belgium, with the Antwerp-based One Love Roller Dolls quickly following their lead.[3] GO-GO Gent was accepted as apprentice members of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association in January 2011,[4] and graduated to full membership in December 2012.[5] In December 2011, GO-GO Gent and One Love were named as the top two Belgian leagues by Het Laatste Nieuws.[6]
Their intraleague home bout in January 2011 was the first ever roller derby event to be organized in Belgium. The Mad Megs beat the Bells of Mayhem[7] and the league instantly gained a fanbase in their hometown.
