Town have switched the away reserve game with West Ham due to the rearrangement of the home fixture against the same opposition. The home game was postponed on January 8th due to the condition of the Portman Road pitch. The Blues second string also face Harwich and Parkeston in a friendly.
Harwich and Parke 1-5 Res Wednesday, 29th Jan 2003 23:03
A young Town reserve side comfortably beat Harwich and Parkeston in occasionally atrocious conditions in a friendly at the Shrimpers Royal Oak ground.
Town took the lead in the seventh minute when Ian Westlake was quickest to react after Dean Bowditch s shot had been saved by the Harwich keeper.
On 23 the Blues scored again when Sam Morrow ran on to a long ball, took the ball past the keeper before slipping the ball past a host of defenders on the line from an acute angle.
Four minutes later Bowditch added the third, turning well inside the box and shooting across the keeper after a ball into feet from Stuart Boardley.
