Academy News - Ipswich Town News

Town's U19s today travel to Holland to play in an international youth tournament in Uitgeest. The squad includes both Darren Bent and Darren Ambrose and the Blues will face opposition from throughout Europe.

Town's opponents are Dutch sides RKC Walwijk and Telstar as well as Slovakians Tatran Presov. Also involved are other Dutch sides Feyenoord, Sparta Rotterdam and Willem II as well as Swedes Gothenburg, Belgians Lokeren and Sunderland.

Darren Bent and Matt Bloomfield are likely to be away in Norway in late July with the England U19s.

Town have two U19s away with the Welsh squad which plays friendlies with Norway this weekend (Llanelli on Saturday, Port Talbot on Sunday, both KO 2.30pm).

Lee Beevers is likely to be in the line-up while young keeper Lewis Price will merely join in with training. Price's paperwork has yet to be completed and he is unavailable for the matches. Like Beevers, he qualifies for the Welsh via his parents.

Next weekend it is the turn of the U17s to play in Holland when they take part in a tournament in Grubbenvorst.
