Rugby League is back in Luton as Vipers reform
Rugby League is coming back to Luton with newly-refounded Luton Vipers aiming to take the East Men's League by storm this season.
The club, whose previous incarnation was in 2002-2008, has been reborn thanks to the hard work and dedication of club chairman Rob Ashton.
They are all set to take their place in East RL’s second tier, with fixtures kicking off in May as coach Ieuan Beal said: “A lot of work has already gone in to get us started and I believe we have a squad which could be capable of winning the league.
“Rob (Ashton) is creating something special here.
“It’s about getting more people involved in rugby league.
