Lose one, win one

Wednesday 27 April 2022, Ipswich Town Community Trust U19 'A' 0 Macclesfield Development Squad U19 'C' 1 at 2pm, Ipswich Town Training Ground, EFL CEFA League Semi-final

Double youth day!


First game this season taht the public have been let into the training ground. I was also interested to see what the standard was like. Within 5 minutes the visitors had taken the lead from a corner, after that Ipswich had most of the play but never looked like scoring whilst the visitors always looked threatening when they had set piece .


Second half was scrappier but more even, disappointingly the last 20 minutes saw constant time wasting from Macclesfield, but they held out and will play a team linked to Chelsea in the final. 


Standard was OK, and a few players stood out but obvious the skill level and fitness level was below that of Academy players.





Then at 7pm

Ipswich Town Under 18s 7 Coventry City Under 18s 0 - Professional Development League, League Cup Final, Portman Road


Early sending off and Ipswich also scoring from the spot after just 13 minutes meant the result was never in doubt, however City kept working and Ipswich also kept the pressure on. there were some fantastic goals and Ipswich put on a display that sent the home fans home smiling.
