Saturday roster announcement 📢

In lieu of our usual roster announcement, we would like to celebrate the milestone of making it to the Capital Rugby Union Championship by honoring a previous VRFC squad who made it this far 👏
Behold, the 2010 MARFU Champions!🧡💙🤍
Although some players have moved away and others have retired, those of you who are more keen-eyed might recognize a couple of familiar names: our current coach Pete Alonzi, and our scrum half Kerry Griggs , can you find them in the picture?
We follow the same tradition of excellence, welcoming and respectfulness as our predecessors did, as we’re inspired by the examples set by them. And we hope to make them proud on Saturday by winning the regional Championship just like they did🏆

Editor note: apologies for the few names we missed or misspelled, Coach Pete’s memories are a little fuzzy 👀

Public statement:

As many in the Club Rugby community are aware, the Severn River Rugby Football Club submitted a complaint to the Capital Rugby Union with the goal of forcing us to forfeit the Union Championship based on an allegation that we played ineligible players 7 months ago in matches that Severn River had no involvement in. All of these players are long time club members who are currently registered with USA Rugby and eligible to play.

After learning of this allegation less than 72 hours before the match, and under threat of forfeiture from the Union, we made our case in a written statement backed by copious evidence that we did not commit violations that warranted forfeiture. The Union has made the determination that, at this juncture, VRFC is a “fundamentally valid team for competition.” Accordingly, we will be playing in the Union Championship as scheduled at 2pm on Saturday April 18, 2026.

We are disappointed in Severn River as an organization and rugby players. To try to win a rugby match on a technicality that occurred 7 months ago in a match your club did not play is shameful and against the spirt of the game. We look forward to hosting Severn River and putting this matter to rest on the pitch.
