No Bent Bonus for Town - Ipswich Town News

Darren Bent's failure to make his first competitive international appearance in England's 5-0 victory over Andorra means that the Blues continue to wait for further top-ups from Charlton for the striker. The Blues are due £200,000 for each of Bent's first two competitive matches.

Bent may get his chance on Wednesday when Steve McLaren's side play Macedonia in Skopje.

Elsewhere, Lewis Price won his ninth Wales U21 cap and kept a clean sheet as the Welsh youngsters drew 0-0 with Turkey at Ninian Park in a UEFA Championship qualifier.
