Academy News - Ipswich Town News
Town's Academy sides are in action this weekend against Birmingham City. The games kick-off at 12.30pm at Town's Playford Road training centre.
Town's youngsters are in FA Youth Cup action at Woking's Kingfield Road ground on Wednesday (KO 7pm) against Fulham.
The draw for the final rounds has already been made with Town knowing that should they beat Fulham they will face either Aston Villa or Brighton and Hove Albion in the quarter-finals.
If they win through again then they may have to face Manchester United in the semi-finals, or perhaps Hartlepool, Barnsley or Wycombe Wanderers.
Last year's semi-final opponents Arsenal, who narrowly beat Town over two legs, are still in the competition, but can now only face Town in the final.
