Clean Sheet for Crowe - Ipswich Town News
Academy keeper Michael Crowe kept a clean sheet for the Wales U19s as they drew 0-0 with Montenegro in the second of this week’s two friendlies at Dragon Park, Newport.
Crowe was an unused sub in the first game which the side coached by ex-Blue Geraint Williams won 2-0.
London-born Crowe, whose father is English and mother Norwegian, joined the Blues in the summer of 2012 from Kristiansand-based side IK Start, having been brought up in Norway. He qualifies for Wales through his grandmother.
The second-year academy scholar signed a two-year professional contract earlier in the season and has been on the first team bench on a couple of occasions, most recently at Watford on Saturday.
Wales played the two friendlies as preparation for their UEFA elite round qualifiers in the summer in Portugal.
