Thursday 10 November 2022, Haverhill Rovers Under 18s 0 Ipswich Town Under 16s 2 - Suffolk FA Under 18 Mid-week Cup, New Croft
For a number of seasons, Ipswich have entered this competition but using a younger side, made up of Under 15s and 16s. AFC Sudbury are the only team to have ever won this competition.
Ipswich scored and hit the post twice in the first five minutes then quickly added a second goal. At that stage it looked like it would be a goal feast - but that was it for the scoring! For the rest of the first half, Ipswich then over played it and wasted chances.
In the second half, Haverhill came more into the game and almost scored on a few occasions when Ipswich got short at the back. the game was fizzling out until with just a few minutes left an Ipswich player was fouled, the Haverhill number 7 then kicked the ball at him as he was on the floor, and we had a 22-man scrum! Results was a player from each side sent off but somehow the instigator stayed on.
