U18s Play Annual Fixture at Southwold - Ipswich Town News
The Blues’ U18s get their pre-season friendly programme under way this evening when they play their traditional game away against Southwold Town on the Common (KO 6.15pm).
It’ll be the 21st staging of the annual fixture, which last year ended in a 5-0 victory to the young Blues with Steph Bombelenga, Ben Morris (pictured), Conor McKendry, Nick Ingram and Dan Muamba on the scoresheet.
Traffic is likely to be heavy in the Southwold area today due to the Latitude Festival.
