Young Town team hang on

Tuesday 7 November 20923, Ipswich Wanderers 1 Ipswich Town Under 21 2 - Suffolk Premier Cup, Humber Doucy Lane



Wanderers struck unlucky this week, a club that does not have the crowd support of rivals, Felixstowe, Bury or Lowestoft hoped to make the most of drawing Ipswich in the cup, but then fate stuck as Rotherham- Ipswich was postponed last week and played tonight and live on Sky- so a lower crowd than Wanderers get for a normal midweek game.


Ipswich had a mostly U18 team with a few Under 21s but they dominated the first 30 minutes, scoring and also hitting the woodwork 3 times. Some of them seemed to relish playing against adults. (Not sure wanderers were at full strength).


Second half and Ipswich scored early on then wanderers dominated as Ipswich lost their shape and struggled physically, wanderers pulled one back but thanks to some last ditch defending and a good keeper, Ipswich held on and in fact looked more likely to score on a number of fast counter attacks they had.
