Academy Wins - Ipswich Town News
Both Town's Academy sides won 3-2 today. The U17s were in action against Bolton in their first play-off game while the U19s, already champions, faced Southampton in a league game.
The scorers for the U17s were Aidan Collins, Erkan Okay and Stuart Boardley.
The U19s were at less than full strength with several of the players in reserve action earlier in the week not involved. Robert Dickinson was twice on the scoresheet, the second a penalty after a foul on Steve Burton, the scorer of the first goal.
