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.

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!
Preparation for the fall has begun 😤

Some Danbury Rugby players went down to D.C. for the @usarugby double header this past weekend. Two of them did a challenge for some free @questnutrition protein chips and showed the crowd how it’s done 😉
Thanks @questnutrition for the free chips 🤝

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!
Bleed Black 🖤🎩🏉

Congratulations to two of our Danbury Rugby college athletes Lucas and John on competing in the 2025 NCR All Star Shield Challenge this past January. Lucas played for the Tri-State Foundry, representing St. Bonaventure and John played for the New England Independents, representing UMASS Amherst.
Both ruggers are key members of our club during their college off seasons and we can’t wait to have them back 💪🏉🎩
