Leicester Double

Saturday 7 March 2026 - 1230pm - Ipswich Town Under 18s 3 Leicester City Under 18s 1 - PL 2 U18, Playford Road Training Ground - then:

3pm - Ipswich Town 1 Leicester City 1 - Championship Portman Road.

First of all the main game in the afternoon, Without trying to sound if I am just moaning again about poor officiating- Ipswich are quite a placid crowd and our Manager hardly ever shouts - but today their was uproar at the end of the game - in fact, not seen a Ref get such abuse for over 50 years at Portman Rd, last time was early 70s when Colin Harper was (wrongly) sent off

The Under 18 game - Ipswich bottom of the league and City near the top but it was Ipswich who came out on to - scored after 6 minutes then a long delay when Ipswich keeper injured his back or neck, the Sub keeper was playing on the other Training Ground for the U16s, so a 10 minute wait till the change was made. Ipswich then added a second goal.

The half time was almost 20 minutes as we could not start the game till the ambulance returned from taking the Ipswich keeper to hospital. City got a goal back late on but Ipswich secured a rare win, with a further goal in injury time.

Playford Rd (First team training ground) being used by the U18 team as their pitch on the Bent Lane site is being re-laid.
