U21s Win at Bristol City - Ipswich Town News
Goals from Jack Marriott, Alex Henshall and trialist Josh Yorwerth saw Town’s U21s to a 3-0 victory over Bristol City at their Failand training ground this afternoon.
Marriott, who is still available for the U21s despite being on loan at Colchester for the rest of the season, volleyed the Blues in front a minute before the break, having scored twice in the U21s' 5-1 home victory over Charlton last week.
Ten minutes after the restart, Henshall’s cross-shot flew over Robins keeper Jojo Woolacott to make it 2-0.
In the 66th minute 20-year-old Wales U21 international centre-half Yorwerth, who is currently with Cardiff and also played in last week’s victory over the Addicks, netted from close range after the keeper had missed his punch at a set piece.
U21s: Crowe, Hammond, Wyatt, Blanchfield, Yorwerth, Robinson, Patterson, Benyu, McQueen, Marriott, Henshall.
