Senior Players Set for Reserve Cup Final - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Roy Keane says there will be a sprinkling of senior players in the reserve side which takes on Needham Market in the final of the LB Group Suffolk Premier Cup at Portman Road this evening (KO 7pm).
Keane said: "It’s a good opportunity for the lads who are coming back from injury like Quinner to play a game, and the lads who have been left out the last week or two - Garvs, Lee Martin - they’ll all be involved.
"It’s the chance for the boys to get a game, keep their fitness up and to try and win it.”
Town have confirmed that Pablo Couñago, Lee Martin and Alan Quinn will be in the starting line-up, with Saturday debutant Billy Clark, Troy Brown, Tom Eastman and Luke Hyam, who were all on the bench on Saturday, also in the side.
Needham, who lead the Ridgeons League Premier Division, will have former Blue Kevin Horlock in their side.
Tickets cost £6 for adults and £3 for concessions with cash turnstiles in operation. Only the Cobbold Stand will be open.
