Civelli on Target as Reserves Draw at Stevenage - Ipswich Town News
Luciano Civelli netted his first reserves goal of the season as the Blues' second string drew 2-2 at Stevenage this evening. Northern Ireland U19 international Caolan Lavery scored Town's other goal.
Coach Chris Kiwomya told the club site that his side ought to have picked up all three points: "We should have won the game.
"We created some good opportunities but didn't take them and paid the price again for it.
"Shane O'Connor had a great chance at the end but fired over the bar. Luca and Caolan had chances to have won it as well. We had plenty of openings but didn't take them.
"Their keeper made some good saves and we had moments of good play. We gave them two sloppy goals, giving the ball away, and we can't seem to keep a clean sheet at the moment, but we did enough to have won."
Boss Roy Keane was amongst those watching the game from the stands.
Reserves: Lee-Barrett, Ainsley, O'Connor, Hourihane, Hyam, McKeown, Clark, Griffiths, Lavery, Cawley, Civelli.
