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.
The fourth round tie at Portman Road must be played by Saturday 30th January.
Last season the young Blues exited the competition at the third round stage having lost 2-1 at Cardiff City after extra-time having defeated King's Lynn and Exeter in the previous two rounds.
The Blues have won the FA Youth Cup on three occasions, in 1973, 1975 and 2005.
