The League 2 season begins with a disappointing loss to Mansfield Town at home 0-3. The sides were evenly matched for much of the first half, but Bell scored on a long lob shot from outside the area in the 29th minute. Mansfield Town wouldn't look back.

Despite being down a man after a red card to ST Simon Heslop in the 38th minute and some near misses by Mansfield Town, Luton Town CB Steve McNulty fouled CAM Fergus Bell in the box. McNulty was red carded in the incident and was capped off with an Adam Murray goal on the penalty.

Bell would get his chance 2 minutes into the 2nd half on a beautiful feed from Murray, after he had slipped 2 defenders. Bell easily put away the goal and the game as well.

Mansfield Town finds itself atop the League 2 standings while Luton Town opens its first week in the League in last.

In other news, Luton Town signed 18 year old free agent CM Alexander Moralejo to a 4 year-$1000/week contract. He is projected to be a rotation player for now, but likely to become a more frequent starter as the season progresses.
