Haynes Sent Off - Ipswich Town News

Striker Danny Haynes won his fifth England U19 cap but was sent off late on as Brian Eastick's side completed their European Championship elite qualifying group with a 2-0 victory over the Czech Republic at Northampton's Sixfields Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Haynes impressed in a wide role but was shown a straight red card for a foul on Zdenek Smeskal six minutes from the end.

Defeats in their previous elite group games against Russia and Holland had already ruled England out of qualification for this summer's finals in Austria.

U19s: Frank Fielding (Blackburn Rovers), Scott Golbourne (Reading), Michael Mancienne (Chelsea) (Elliot Omozusi (Fulham) 46), Danny Haynes (Ipswich Town), Ben Turner (Coventry City) (Jack Hobbs (Liverpool) 13), Stephen Darby, (Liverpool), Chris Martin, (Norwich City), Craig Lindfield (Liverpool), Rossi Jarvis (Norwich City), Jack Cork (Chelsea).
