Town were dumped out of this season s Endeavour Automotive Suffolk Premier Cup on Tuesday evening after a 2-1 stoppage-time defeat at Leiston. Rossi Jarvis put through his own net to put the Town XI ahead but the hosts hit back and progressed to the quarter-finals thanks to goals from Adam Mills and Finlay Barnes.
Rio Morgan netted the decisive penalty as Town’s U18s beat Nottingham Forest 4-2 on penalties following a 1-1 draw after extra time at a freezing Portman Road to go through to round five of the FA Youth Cup and a home tie against Liverpool. Northern Ireland U19 international Morgan gave the Blues the lead in the first half but Esapa Osong equalised for the visitors in the second with neither side able to claim a winner in injury time before Town ran out victors in a nervy shoot-out.
