Strong Reserves Squad Named for Colchester Clash - Ipswich Town News

Town have named a strong reserves squad for this afternoon’s game against Colchester United at Playford Road (KO 2pm). The match was originally scheduled to be a home game for the U’s but the game has switched due to the poor state of their pitch.

Owen Garvan, Pablo Couñago, Lee Martin, Tommy Smith and Liam Rosenior are all included alongside reserves regulars like Tom Eastman and Luke Hyam. Defender Troy Brown is missing having received a nasty blow to the face in last week’s reserves defeat to Luton.

Steve Foley’s men currently sit in third place in the Totesport.com Football Combination East Division with only one more league game, at Northampton on April 27th, left to go after today, in addition to the LB Group Suffolk Premier Cup final against Needham Market at Portman Road on April 19th.

Reserves: Ainsley, Brandon, Clark, Couñago, Dunbar, Eastman, Garvan, Griffiths, Hyam, Lambe, Lee-Barrett, Martin, Rosenior, Smith, Yao.
