Another year, another banquet, another night of ruffians remembering rugby riffraff while singing and sliding and slurring through speeches. With 120 people in attendance, it was the largest group at the Hella’s location for banquet and the staff certainly won’t forget it. Every time this group of people grabs each other and starts belting out “Let Me Let Me Let Me Let Me!” it’s hard not to get nostalgic and allow the feelings of pride (and shame) well-up for at least one night of the year. Where else can you go where your friends are called out for flicking off a ref (Tina), exposing their significant other for missing their first try (Aly and Brad), and for beginning a potential YAD dynasty (Sloth and Mouth)? But, ultimately, the worst offender of the year attended a social while his wife was in labor with their third child (Spaceman Joe)?!?!? It was just another Severn River Rugby banquet. That’s the only place I know where people are accepted for who they are, ridiculed appropriately for it, and then brought right back into the mix.

It was a big night. Pregnancies were announced, awards were awarded, and dignity was replaced by dancing, a photo booth, and far too observant teammates who, no matter how intoxicated they appear, never forget a thing. Oh and good news, the women’s rugby history plaque almost made it through the whole night…but that is a story for the 2021 YAD award. Hope to see you there next year. It’s a show that’s well worth the price of admission, even if the liquor costs a little extra and Natty Boh gives you the…well…you know.
