Senior & Colts - Luton Rugby Football Club

Senior & Colts Centre

Welcome from the Head Coach

The 3rd XV has a real mix - ex-1st XV players, determined to keep going, social players determined to remain social, and youngsters, learning all the good, and bad, habits of their older (and wiser ?) team mates - the "social" team in the club, vital to the heart of any rugby club, and vital to Luton.

…… a side made up of our Under 17 and Under 18/19 players, the key side where players begin to learn the difference between Junior Rugby and the adult game, the key side where players can "hone" their skills, where Player Development is the major objective.

.... one we are all looking forward to, whether in the 1st XV - and determined to make your mark on the pitch this season - or in the 3rd XV - and determined to make your mark on and off the pitch - one I hope you all enjoy as much as I hope I enjoy it !

Welcome to the Senior & Colts section of our website for the 2011/12 season. Here you can find the latest news on all 3 senior teams and our Colts squad.

Pre Season Message

With a new Coaching and Management team in place for this season, we will be looking to the Development XV to provide a pathway to develop local players to compete for 1st XV places. The Development XV, where players can develop and challenge for 1st XV places, where 1st XV players not in the 1st XV match day squad can fight to win their 1st XV place back, where some of our best Colts will be given the opportunity to bridge the gap between Colts and adult rugby by playing targeted Development XV games.

………..is where players can continue to get the maximum enjoyment out of the game - both on and off the pitch.

Our Development 1st XV

After a season back in National 3 Midlands we find ourselves "level transferred" again to the National 3 London and South East and a chance to renew friendships following our short stay in the League 2 years ago. Fitness testing sessions take place in June and the team will be back pre-season training in the first week in July. I will be working with the coaching team to plan our season.

Most of our squad from last season remain with us and there are new signings to strengthen our squad in key areas. Dean Payne and Samantha Barry-Wilson provide our Physio support and our Strength & Conditioning programmes and new Team Manager Mark Turner, tries to keep us all organized.
