U18s Lose at Wolves - Ipswich Town News

Town's U18s started their season with a disappointing 5-0 defeat at Wolves over Saturday lunchtime. Coach Mike Pejic (pictured) fielded a very weak side, with a number of regulars missing through injury.

Wolves dominated the game throughout, although Jidé Maduako did see his header hit the bar in the second half.

Both sides were reduced to ten men late on as tempers boiled over with the home side’s captain dismissed and Sam Brandon seeing red for Town.

U18s: Trialist, McKeown, Whight, Jones, Maduako, SchrÃ¸der, Simmons, Scotcher, Lavery, Brandon and Winter. Subs: Acott, Lawrence and Kamanda.
