Town Face Posh in Double Friendly - Ipswich Town News

Town will face Peterborough United in two back-to-back hour-long pre-season friendlies at Posh’s ABAX Stadium on Tuesday 18th July.

The first game starts at 7pm with the teams playing out two periods of 30 minutes with a five-minute break for half-time.

The second match will then be played at 8.30pm in the same format after the second two teams have warmed up.

The two-match format is designed to give as many players from the two squads as much game time as possible.

Town last faced Posh in pre-season in July 2015 when the game ended in a 0-0 draw.

The visit to Peterborough is the third friendly of pre-season to be confirmed with Irish side Drogheda United announcing that the Blues will be at United Park on Saturday 8th July (KO 2pm) and Town at Charlton on Saturday 29th July (KO 3pm).
