Moore Nets Brace to Take Total to Eight - Ipswich Town News

On-loan Blues striker Kieffer Moore took his season’s tally to eight goals, netting twice as Rotherham United thrashed Oldham Athletic 5-1 at the New York Stadium in League One.

The 25-year-old, who is with the Millers for the season although with the Blues able to cut the spell short in January, scored in the 73rd and 78th minutes as the South Yorkshiremen hit five for the third time in their five home games this season.

Blues right-back Josh Emmanuel wasn’t involved having played 90 minutes for Rotherham’s reserves on Tuesday after recovering from a toe injury.

Elsewhere, Adam McDonnell and George Fowler both played the full 90 minutes as Aldershot drew 2-2 at home to Leyton Orient in the Vanarama National League. The result saw the Shots drop to second in the table.

Central defender Chris Smith made his debut for his loan club Chelmsford City, who he joined on Thursday, as 72nd minute sub as the Clarets drew 0-0 away against Poole Town in the National League South.
