Town Draw Wigan in Carling Cup - Ipswich Town News

Town have drawn Wigan Athletic at home in the third round of the Carling Cup.

The sides previously met in the League Cup in the 1992/93 season when they drew 2-2 in the first leg at Springfield Park with the Town goals coming from Gavin Johnson and a John Robertson own goal.

Town's reserve coach Chris Kiwomya netted a hat-trick in the second leg at Portman Road and Johnson scored again as the Blues ran out 4-0 winners against a Latics side then managed by Bryan Hamilton.

The Blues are in the third round for the first time since the 2002/03 season when they beat Middlesbrough at Portman Road before going out to Liverpool on penalties at Anfield.

Third round ties take place during the week commencing September 22nd.
