U18s Face Chelsea - Ipswich Town News
Town's U18s are in action against Chelsea at their Cobham training ground this lunchtime (KO noon). The game was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch earlier in the season.
The Blues will be looking to avenge the Premier League side's 2-1 victory at Playford Road earlier in the season, Scottish central defender Paul Watson netting the Town goal on that occasion.
Meanwhile, released U18s captain Curtley Williams could be set for a trial with Colchester United. The midfielder has already had a spell with Lincoln and was due to join up with Grimsby and Stevenage as he looks to find a new club.
