U23s in Action At Coggeshall - Ipswich Town News
The Blues' U23s are in friendly action against Coggeshall Town at their West Street ground on Saturday afternoon (KO 3pm).
A game against the Thurlow Nunn League Premier Division side has become a regular feature of pre-season in recent years with Coggeshall chairman Graeme Smith’s company Chelmsford Plastic Warehouse a sponsor of the Blues’ academy.
Last year a Town XI made up of U23s and U18s drew 1-1 with Ben Morris (pictured) on target against a Coggeshall side which included pop star Olly Murs, while a year previously an U21s team won 4-1.
The U23s have played two pre-season games so far, a 0-0 draw at Felixstowe and Walton last Saturday and a 3-1 loss at AFC Sudbury on Wednesday.
