Severn River Rugby Club’s annual banquet on February 1st was nothing short of spectacular, with a Met Gala: Fairytale theme that transformed the Byzantium in Annapolis into a stunning venue. The evening was a reflection of the dedication and creativity of social chairs Ava Dennis and Mike Divver, whose efforts brought the entire event to life.

The evening’s standout moments included honoring a new group of players, with both the men's and Honey Badger teams receiving well-deserved recognition. Among the notable moments, Tommy Sitar claimed his long-awaited derby for Unsung Hero, while Sarah ‘Pat’ Patterson proudly showed off her Steel Tits ring.

This year, the prestigious YAD award was shared by two deserving winners: Ava Dennis and Katie Marshall. Mike Posko kept everyone entertained with classic YAD stories, adding to the night’s charm.

The SRRFC Hall of Fame inducted two more legends: Mike Bertoni and Jennifer Fenzel, cementing their place in the club’s rich history.

The celebration continued late into the night as the club headed to downtown Annapolis for more drinks and fun. With so many generations of Severn River Rugby history in one spot, it was the perfect way to keep the energy going.

As the NFL Pro Bowl fades into the background, Severn River Rugby’s annual banquet continues to grow in significance, drawing players—current, former, and legendary—from all over. With the club’s 50th anniversary on the horizon, expectations are high for next year’s celebration, and it promises to be another unforgettable event, filled with camaraderie, excellence, and new memories.
