Town Draw Peterborough in Leasing.com Trophy - Ipswich Town News

Town have drawn Peterborough United away in the second round of the Leasing.com Trophy.

The tie will be played at London Road, where the Blues drew 2-2 in League One earlier in the season, in the first week of December, probably the Wednesday with the Blues perhaps in FA Cup action against Coventry at St Andrew's on the preceding Sunday.

The visit to Cambridgeshire will come as something of a relief to fans with Exeter City and Bristol Rovers two of the other three clubs the Blues could have been paired with. The MK Dons were the other.
