🎩🏉 WHAT A DAY, DANBURY! 🎩🏉
Family Day & Community Drive 2025 is in the books and we are OVERWHELMED by the love and support from this community. Look at those tables. LOOK AT THEM. 😤
On the pitch:
✅ Women’s Mad Hatters def. Providence 41-21 💪
✅ Men’s Mad Hatters def. Hartford 29-12 🎩
Off the pitch:
❤️ You all showed up BIG. This drive was organized in coordination with our opponents Hartford Rugby & Providence Rugby — because in rugby, we compete on the field and come together off it. That’s the culture. 🤝
All donations are going directly to the pantry program at Broadview Middle School right here in Danbury. A massive thank you to Christine Miller, who runs the pantry program and makes this kind of support possible — and to Principal Mr. Lambo, who not only leads that school community but also happens to be a current player on the Danbury Men’s team. 🙌
Because of everyone who donated, we are able to support numerous families from the Broadview school district for the remainder of the spring and into the summer. That is an incredible impact and we couldn’t have done it without you.
📦 The drive doesn’t stop here.
The need in our community is ongoing, and so is our commitment. Our Amazon Wishlist is still active — if you weren’t able to donate on the day, it’s not too late!
👉 Donate here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/320PVMW157L6T
Thank you, Danbury. This is what we’re all about. 🖤

Starting off a new series of where we highlight our awesome sponsors. To kick it off, we’d like to thank O’Briens Pub in Danbury for always supporting our club, not just during the season, but year round.
O’Briens has become a second home for Danbury Rugby and we couldn’t be more thankful.
To many more great memories with you!
Danbury Rugby has lost a beloved member of our family. In loving memory of Tpot, our Mad Hatter and forever teammate. She brought so much heart, laughter, and personality to this club, both on and off the field. We are grateful for the time we shared with her and the memories she leaves behind. She will always be part of Danbury Rugby and will be deeply missed. 🤍
The family will receive family and friends Thursday, December 18, 2025 from 6-8pm at Miller Funeral Home, 3200 Golansky Blvd., Woodbridge, VA 22192. Friday, December 19, 2025 the family will receive family and friends from 10-11am with a service from 11am-12pm at Miller Funeral Home.
To honor Michelle, in lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to Danbury Rugby. Half the money will go to the Disabled American Veterans group of Danbury and the other half will go to the Rugby Club to provide a fund in Michelle’s honor to help a woman who would like to play on the team but cannot afford the fees, uniforms or equipment. Please be sure to note “Teapot” for your donation when venmoing the club.
Happy almost game day!! Danbury women take on New Haven at 200 Derby Ave, New Haven at 11am!!! ✨ see you there!!

2025 CanAms recap!
This years CanAms presented a new challenge for both teams as we were moved up to club, which we met with open arms.
The Women ended the weekend as Consolation Champions!!! Very hard fought two days for them and couldn’t be more proud.
The Men ended Saturday 0-2. Both games were battles that showed both strengths and weaknesses.
Very big thank you to our sponsors @thepitchdoctors for always keeping our teams healthy, especially at CanAms, as well as @roomerslakeplacid for a great weekend and welcoming us as always!
More CanAms photos will be on the way!

Came in 2nd place in the club division at Saratoga 7s this weekend. The boys played well until the end.
Saratoga 7s marked the end of our 7s season, so some awards were handed out to the players. Swipe to see more!
We’re going to carry this momentum into CanAms at the end of the month and then into our fall season!
