Town’s first round tie in the FIFA 20 Ultimate Quaran-Team Cup against the Melbourne Victory will take place at 9am this morning and is being streamed live via Twitch.
The tie, dubbed the Jim Magilton derby with the Blues legend having been manager with the Victory during 2012, will also be live tweeted by the club.
The Ultimate Quaran-Team Cup was instigated on social media by Leyton Orient early last week to fill the footballing void. Each of the 128 clubs involved nominating a player or a fan to represent them.
The man entrusted with upholding the honour of Town in the Ultimate Quaran-Team Cup is 18-year-old Josh Blunden, who is currently ranked at 257th in the world. You can read about Josh in a TWTD interview here.
