U18s at Bolton - Ipswich Town News
Town’s U18s are in action against Bolton Wanderers at their Eddie Davies Football Academy on Saturday morning (KO 11am).

Midfielder Ellis Murrell will be making his return to match action after five months out with a knee injury.
Meanwhile, the Suffolk Premier Cup first round tie away against Long Melford will take place on Wednesday 11th October, kick-off 7.45pm. The winners will face Hadleigh United away in the second round.
The U18s will again be the Blues’ representatives in the competition, playing all their ties away from home.
