BUWRFC at Providence College
This year Coach Nick started an new tradition in which BUWRFC would honor players who have truly committed themselves to the game of rugby and BUWRFC both on and off the field. Members of BUWRFC waited until the last game of the season to vote on the following awards. The winners were announced at the end of the year meeting! Congrats to everyone!
