Home Draw for U18s in Youth Cup - Ipswich Town News

Town’s U18s have drawn Metropolitan Police or Swindon or Bromley at home in the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup.

The young Blues secured their place in round four via a brilliant late comeback to beat Fulham 3-2 at Portman Road just over a fortnight ago.

Metropolitan Police host Swindon in their second round tie on Monday evening.
