Reserves Beat Wycombe - Ipswich Town News
Goals from Tom Eastman and Lee Martin gave Town’s reserves a 2-1 victory against Wycombe Wanderers at Maidenhead’s York Road on Tuesday evening.
Young central defender Eastman put the Blues in front just before the break, but Wycombe, who included former Town midfielder Matt Bloomfield in their line-up, hit back in the second, a cross slipping through Richard Wright’s hands and Kadeem Harris heading in at the far post.
Lee Martin won the game for Town in the 68th minute with a superb run and finish after receiving the ball from sub David Cawley.
The Blues might have extended their lead late on when Ed Upson was upended in the box but the referee waved away the protests.
Town, who lost 2-1 at home to the same opposition a week ago, enjoyed most of the possession but too often without creating an end product.
Reserves: R Wright, Ainsley, Dunbar, Eastman, Brown, Upson, Hyam, Quinn, Clark (Cawley 60), Martin, Lambe.
