U18s Face Chelsea - Ipswich Town News
Town's U18s play their final FA Premier Academy League game on Saturday when they travel to Chelsea's Cobham training ground (KO 11am).
The Blues' youngsters will be in buoyant mood after last week's 2-1 derby victory over Norwich City.
Town's academy picked up another win against the Canaries on Tuesday when an U15/U16 side - including Irish keeper Conor O'Donnell, one of this summer's new scholars - ran out 4-2 victors in a friendly at Playford Road.
The Blues' U18s will finish sixth, seventh or eighth in their FA Premier Academy League group depending on the final round of matches.
