U18s at Walsham-le-Willows in Suffolk Premier Cup - Ipswich Town News
Town’s U18s will take on Thurlow Nunn Premier Division Walsham-le-Willows at Summer Road in the second round of the Suffolk Premier Cup this evening (KO 7.45pm).
The young Blues, who are currently second in the Professional Development League Two South table, were drawn out of the hat first but as has been the case since the club re-entered the competition in 2015, they handed home advantage to the opposition.
As in previous years the squad will be augmented by one or two older players with Conor McKendry, Brett McGavin and Kai Brown set to be involved.
Last season the U18s, who are coached by Adem Atay and Kieron Dyer, exited the competition at the quarter-final stage when they were beaten 2-1 at Leiston in the final minute, having also having gone out at Victory Road the previous year when they lost 6-3 and in 2015 when they were defeated 6-2.
