St Albans Centurions picked up a fine early season win as they put Anglian Vipers to the sword.

The 38-10 success saw the Toulmin Drive-based rugby league club out score their opponents by seven tries to two with the addition of new players making a real difference.

One of the older hands led the try-scoring charts through, Josh Lawrence getting two while there was one each for Jake Lawrence, Callum Porter, Will Fairhead, Martin Day and Adam Jasinski.

Head coach Sam Wingad said: " I am extremely proud of how the boys performed and the season is shaping up to be a successful one.

"We had two players stepping up from the youth in Max Robson-Smith and Oakley Renne-Sivell and they showed the successful player pathway we have at Centurions."
