U23s Host Barnsley - Ipswich Town News
Town’s U23s are in action against Barnsley at Playford Road this afternoon (KO 1pm).
The young Blues, who are coached by Kieron Dyer and Terry Butcher, currently sit second in Professional Development League Two South, eight points behind Bristol City with the Tykes sixth in the North division.
They will be looking to extend their winning run to three in a row having beaten Charlton and the Robins in their last two matches.
Town say they will confirm the team which is playing later on this evening, presumably so as not to give too much away regarding who might be involved with the first-team at Wimbledon this evening.
