Lee Nets as U21s Draw - Ipswich Town News

Alan Lee and Jack Marriott scored the goals as Town’s U21s drew 2-2 with Fulham at their Motspur Park training ground in a friendly this afternoon.

The 35-year-old headed the Blues in front in the third minute but Dino Islamovic equalised for the home side two minutes later.

Marriott put Town back in front on nine, but Islamovic completed the scoring four minutes after the break. Late on, Town hit the woodwork.

Lee, who returned to the club as an academy coach in the summer, recently signed non-contract terms with the Blues.

Today's goal was his second for the U21s in friendlies, the Irishman having scored in the 1-0 victory over Colchester in pre-season.

Aside from the likes of Lee, Paul Taylor and Frederic Veseli, it was largely an academy squad which faced the Cottagers. Like the first team, Town’s U18s have this weekend off.
