Supersub

Thursday 30 October 2025, Haverhill Rovers Under 18s 1 Ipswich Town Under 16s 3 - Suffolk FA Under 18 Midweek Cup, Hamlet Croft


As in previous years, Ipswich enter their Under 16 team in this competition to give them some experience against older players - Haverhill started strongly but after 15 minutes, Ipswich settled into the game and had most of the play, but a bit like the First Team, lacking the killer instinct with just shots from distance.


Second half, saw the introduction of a few Ipswich subs, as no programme or teamsheet, hard to know who they are but one was believed to be an England schoolboy international and he certainly looked a class above the players already on the pitch. he was involved in everything. Ipswich went ahead after 52 minutes but Haverhill were back on level terms 5 minutes later after confusion at the back but Ipswich were back in front after 65 minutes and then in injury time the 'super sub' won a penalty which he converted himself. A decent game and great to see the two young teams play in front of a good sized crowd.
