HISTORY
The Anchors were founded in August 1999, and subsequently established our first Executive Board and joined NERFU in 2000. Started by a scrappy group of local ruggers, the Anchors have built the foundation of our community club based on the commitment, hard work and integrity first demonstrated by those original members. Many of those founding members are still active in the club, whether serving on the board or graduating to play for the Rusty Anchors.
Original Executive Board (Bold Indicates Active Members):
President – David Gonzales
Vice President – Matt Pomella
Captain – Ryan O’Connor
Coach – Lance Dickinson
Match Secretary – Matt Cabral
Treasurer – Jimmy Kenneway
