Another SRRFC banquet is in the books. Amazingly enough, Hellas in Millersville allowed us back again this year for some much-needed fun after COVID shut down last year's banquet (and all other fun things). We came, we ate, we drank too much, and danced just enough.

As always, the current teams started the awards ceremony by slinging out some well-deserved derbies, pins and rings to the most valuable players and heroes of the club. There were a lot of new faces represented in this year's round of awards, including 2nd generation SR rugger Jackson Holtzman, who took ‘Rookie of the Year’ home, and Brianna Niewinski who was named ‘Most Valuable Forward’.

The YAD award went back to the women’s team this year. For liability purposes, you have to be in attendance to get the full story, but the winning story involves too much liquor, a tarp, and a house fire. Great job, Maria…You’re a Dick.

We also had a new class of Hall of Famers inducted this year. We are very appreciative of all the inductees' families that made it out, and for Steve Compo and Ralph Norton for coming from out of state to make it. The women inducted their first Hall of Famer, team co-founder Meredith McAlister Kraus. It was truly a memorable and deserving class, as evidenced by the crowds of alumni, some of whom traveled from across the country, to honor the inductees. Check out the website ‘Alumni Assoc’ page for a few words from some of the recipients.

Til we meet again next year Severn River Rugby Family…
