U18s Complete Double Over Canaries - Ipswich Town News

Town's U18s completed a double over Norwich City with a 2-0 victory over the Canaries at their Colney training ground on Saturday morning. Kurt Robinson, who also scored in the 3-2 home victory earlier in the season, and Jack Ainsley netted the goals in the second half.

The U18s, without regulars Jordan Rhodes, Ed Upson and Tommy Smith and fielding several schoolboys including one 14-year-old, were unlucky not to be ahead in the first half through Jack Ainsley, but his goal was harshly disallowed.

Full-back Robinson finally opened the scoring on 71 with striker Ainsley adding the second with 10 minutes left.

Central defender Ollie Fenn and midfielder Luke Hyam were the outstanding performers. The U16s drew 1-1 with the same opposition.

U18s: Ward, Clemo, Watson, Fenn, Robinson, Hyam, Daniels, C Williams Lambe 78), Clark, Ainsley, Murphy (Wickham 46). Unused: Traveller, Dunbar, Eastman.
