Young U21 Squad Facing Swans - Ipswich Town News
Jack Marriott, Jordan Adekunle, Jack Doherty and Byron Lawrence are in a young Town U21 squad which faces Swansea City at Stebonheath Park this afternoon (KO 2pm).
Lawrence will be playing his first game since suffering an ankle injury in the U21s defeat at QPR in September. Marriott picked up a minor ankle problem in training last week, but looks likely to start against the Swans.
First-year pro Tom Winter and academy scholars Amir Berkane, Ted Bishop, Matt Clarke and Cory Galvin — who scored for the U18s in their win at Cardiff on Saturday — were also amongst those who made the long trek to Wales last night.
Mark Kennedy’s side are still looking for their first Professional Development League Two win of the season.
Meanwhile, let-back David October made his third appearance for loan club Histon as they lost 2-1 at Stalybridge Celtic in the Skrill North on Saturday. The 18-year-old is still available to play for Town’s U21s while with the Stutes.
