Town’s U21s bowed out of the Premier League Cup after losing 1-0 to Crystal Palace in their final group game at Needham Market’s Bloomfields this evening.
Rio Morgan’s two first-half goals saw Ipswich Town’s U18s to a superb 2-0 FA Youth Cup victory over Liverpool at Portman Road and into the quarter-finals where they will host West Ham United. Morgan gave the Blues the lead in the eighth minute, then hit a second just before the break, while the Reds came closest to scoring in the second half when Town keeper Woody Williamson saved skipper Terence Miles’s penalty
Town’s FA Cup run came to an embarrassing end at the fourth round stage as National League South Maidstone United defeated the Blues 2-1 at Portman Road. The Kent side, 99 places and four divisions below Town, went in front via Lamar Reynolds’s goal two minutes prior to half-time, before the Blues levelled on 56 via Jeremy Sarmiento and from there looked set to go on to win it. But Portman Road was stunned once again by Sam Corne’s second for the Stones and Town huffed and puffed without being able to find another equaliser, and crashed out of the cup.
