After a heroic and hard-fought year of rugby, the Montreal Wanderers RFC reflected on their efforts at the Annual Awards Banquet, held at Bier Markt.
The Annual Awards Banquet, an age-old Wanderer tradition, brings together club members and their loved ones to celebrate the end of each rugby season. With over 15 awards being handed out over the course of the night, and both our Men’s and Women’s squads in attendance, over 100 people turned up to the Bier Markt for a 3-course meal and a momentous awards ceremony. This year’s turnout dwarfs previous years, a real sign of club and membership growth.
If you missed an award, or couldn’t make it to the Banquet, here’s a list of those awarded on the night in order.
