A strong Town reserve side beat West Ham 3-0 in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Portman Road this afternoon. Connor Wickham, Pablo Couñago and Lee Martin netted the goals.

Also in the side were Colin Healy, David Wright, Jack Colback and Damien Delaney.

Wickham scored the first, an individual goal, Couñago added a trademark backheel and Martin an overhead kick.

Manager Roy Keane and Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola both watched the game, arranged as the Town second string don't have a league game this week.

devontractorboy added 10:20 - Oct 7 Brendanh is absolutely right, of course reserve team games are important, if not for the fans, then for the players. Why the hell don't the FA have reserve leagues for each division? That way our young/fringe players wouldn't be playing poorer teams and winning by a cricket score, there needs to be a challenge to provide the right players for the first team. With a good class youth set up, which has provided well for the team, we need the right level of opposition to play week in week out. Can't you sort something at the FA Mr Sheepshanks?????
