Thursday 1 October 2020, Sporting 87 Under 18s 1 Ipswich Town Under 16s 8 - Suffolk FA Under 18 Midweek Cup at AFC Sudbury
It was good to see Ipswich enter this competition last season and even though that competition did not finish due to lockdown, good to see we have entered again this year.
It gives us a chance to see who may be the 'stars' of the future at Portman Road, and also shows the benefit of that academy system and the coaching they receive.
Most of the Sporting 87 players were two years old than their Ipswich counterparts, however as the score shows, class overcomes age.
But we must say thank you for sporting 87 for the effort they put in, not only on the pitch but in providing a programme and along with the staff at AFC Sudbury, making sure the game ran smoothly.
Plus with over 600 young players attached to the Bury teams, they are to be congratulated on providing a great service to the young people of Bury St Edmunds.
Players who impressed me in the Ipswich side - take note of these names! Jack Manly and Nico Valentine - plus the centre forward Finn Corrigan. Finn however seems to have a similar attitude problem that our current Under 18 number 09, Zak Brown has!
