Town’s U23s ended their Professional Development League Two South season on an emphatic note by thrashing Coventry City 6-0 at Portman Road. Ben Morris and Flynn Downes both scored twice and Adam McDonnell and Ben Folami once each as Gerard Nash’s side dominated from beginning to end.
The young Blues made a positive start with Albert Wilton making a break down the right in the opening minute but Sky Blues keeper Corey Addai claimed his low cross at a stretch.
In the second minute striker Ben Morris mis-hit a low shot wide from the edge of the area but less than a minute later the England U18 international put the Blues in front.
