U23s Win at Millwall - Ipswich Town News
Harley Curtis and Tawanda Chirewa were on target as Town’s U23s won 2-0 away against 10-man Millwall this afternoon.

Kieron Dyer’s side close the gap to PDL2 South leaders Cardiff to five points, the Welshmen having lost 2-0 at home to bottom club QPR this afternoon.
