Top, top, top of the league.

Saturday 28 September 2019, Ipswich Town 4 Tranmere Rovers 1 - League 1, Portman Road

Still undefeated in the league, and top of the table.

The Yeltz - great nickname

Tuesday 24 September 2019, Bedworth United 1 Halesowen Town 2 - The Oval, Southern League, Central, Division One

Great grandstand, poor floodlights, food with strange names and opponents with a top nickname plus 'old school goalkeeper replacement' with an outfield player having to go between the sticks.

Can't buy a point, let alone a win

Monday 23 September 2019, Ipswich Town Under 23s 1 Charlton Athletic Under 23s 3 - Professional Development League, Portman Road

Will we ever win or just get a point? At least we scored this time and for a while were in front!

Short cup run

Tuesday 17 September 2019, Needham Market 3 Ipswich Town Under 23s 0 - Suffolk FA Premier Cup, 1st round, Bloomfields


Cracking first half with Needham shading it and going in one ahead but in the second half it became scrappy and Ipswich tired so in the end an easy win for the Marketmen.

Had to get a 0-0 in the end

Saturday 14 September 2019, Ipswich Town 0 Doncaster Rovers 0 - League One, Portman Road



My first 0-0 for two season but how it was nil nil, I will never know- Donny hit the post and had numerous chances whilst Norwood and two one on one - impressed by Donny.

And we had a full moon and church bells

Friday 13 September 2019, Somersham Town 4 Milton 0 - Cambridgeshire League, Section 'A', West End



Maybe down to Step 8 but you can still find some cracking grounds, as an ex ECL League Club, did expect it would be decent but actually it was better than that and I loved the two wooden stands plus the old clubhouse with numerous team photos from the past. Plus we had a full (low) moon and the first half was accompanied by the sound of church bells.



On top of that it was decent game of football.

Heaven Eleven

Wednesday 11 September 2019, Coplestonians Under 18s 0 Ipswich Town Under 18s 11 - Suffolk FA Midweek cup, Notcutt's Park

We fielded a strong team, so an easy win but Cops never gave up - a good evenings entertainment.

Monday 9 September 2019

This year we can't buy a win ( Reserves)

Monday 9 September 2019, Ipswich Town Under 23s 1 Nottingham Forest Under 23s 3 - Portman Road, Professional Development League

Last year the Reserves kept winning but the First team could not buy a win - we months on and it is the other way round, not that anyone is complaining!

Thursday 5 September 2019

We won an East Anglian derby match!

Wednesday 4 September 2019, Ipswich Town Women 4 Norwich City Women 1 - Division One, South East, Dellwood Avenue

We won a derby match!! OK, it was just the woman's team - but they did it with style, class and in front of a fantastic crowd.

Tuesday 3 September 2019

Men (and some boys) v boys

Tuesday 3 September 2019, Ipswich Town 2 Tottenham Hotspur Under 21s 1 - Leasing.Com Cup, Portman Road

We won, Dobra shone but we made hard work of it!
