Rugby
Rugby has a very strong history in the Marston Vale, particularly
in the Bedford area. The numerous private schools in the town have
generally favoured rugby over its association counterpart, with
Union being the rugby of choice.
Bedford Blues
The premier rugby
attraction in the Marston Vale is Bedford Blues Rugby Club.
Currently residing in National League One (the Rugby equivalent of
football's the Championship), and with many of today's Rugby
talents starting out at Goldington Road, you can be assured of some
high quality rugby being played. As well as the first team, you can
also also watch reserve and colts teams. And all for a reasonable
entry fee as well.
