U18s in Youth Cup Action at Aldershot - Ipswich Town News

The Blues' U18s are in FA Youth Cup second-round action against Aldershot Town at the EBB Stadium this evening with an away game at Tottenham Hotspur awaiting the winners in round three (KO 7pm).

Adem Atay’s side beat their Winslow United counterparts 7-1 in their first round tie a fortnight ago.

Tickets for the Aldershot tie cost £8 for adults, £5 for concessions (over-65s and disabled and carers) and £3 for juniors under 17. They are available from the Shots in advance and on the gate.

Last season, Town reached the semi-finals of the competition before losing 2-1 to Liverpool at Portman Road.

The Blues have won the Youth Cup on three occasions, in 1973, 1975 and 2005.

Town's U18s have made a strong start to 2021/22 and are currently second in Professional Development League Two South, having drawn 0-0 at home to Watford last weekend.
