U15s in Action at Galway Cup - Ipswich Town News
Town’s U15s are in action at the Macron Galway Cup in Ireland this week and play their first match against US side DC United this afternoon.
The competition, which is played at Salthill Devon’s Drom training facility, is widely considered one of the best youth tournaments in Europe.
The Blues won the Elite U15 Cup that they are competing in this year in 2007 and finished runners-up in 2010, while Josh Carson was the Player of the Tournament in 2008 when Town went out at the semi-final stage.
Following today’s opener, the young Blues face the Republic of Ireland U15s and then Israeli side Maccabi Haifa tomorrow, and then Mexican club Chivas Guadalajara and Scunthorpe United on Friday.
Saturday sees a final and play-offs for the other places in the group.
