Peters Out to Win 16th Cap - Ipswich Town News

Winger Jaime Peters will be hoping to win his 16th full international cap with Canada this evening when they take on Cyprus in a friendly in Larnaca this evening.

Peters, who was most recently capped in June last year, will want to impress caretaker-manager Stephen Hart enough to be included in his squad for the CONCACAF Gold Cup in the USA this summer.

The Canadians face Jamaica, El Salvador and Costa Rica in the group stages of the competition in early July after a further friendly with Guatemala on June 30th. Involvement in the tournament will see Peters miss the start of pre-season training with Town.

Meanwhile, according to a tabloid report this morning, boss Roy Keane has found a house in the Woodbridge area, however, the "property magnate” who currently owns it is unwilling to sell.

Keane will be back at former club Celtic on Sunday to play in a tribute match for Bhoys legend Tommy Burns, who died of skin cancer in 2006. The Town manager will be in the Tommy Burns Select team against the current Celtic side.

Money raised by the game will benefit the Burns family, the Celtic Charity Fund and the Tommy Burns Skin Cancer Trust. The match is being shown live by BBC ALBA from 1.45pm (Sky channel 168, Freesat channel 110).

Elsewhere, former Town academy defender Lee Beevers has been linked with a move to Colchester United. Beevers, who played in the same Blues youth sides as Darren Bent, Darren Ambrose, Ian Westlake and Matt Richards, is set to leave Lincoln City this summer at the end of his contract. Beevers, who has also been linked with SPL side Motherwell, left Town for Boston United in the summer of 2003.
