U21s Win at Watford - Ipswich Town News

Goals from Ryan Carr and Tawanda Chirewa saw Town’s U21s to a 2-0 victory over Watford at the Orbital Fasteners Stadium in Kings Langley this afternoon.

Carr, who joined the Blues from Carlisle in January, put Town in front in the 38th minute with Chirewa adding to the lead on 61.

The Blues remain eighth in Professional Development League Two South with the Hornets bottom of the table.

The Town side included two trialists, Jokubas Mazionis, a central defender who is with the Kinetic Foundation, from whom the Blues signed Myles Kenlock as a youngster and more recently another centre-half, Henry Curtis.

Mazionis, who has played for Lithuania at U16 and U17 levels, has featured for the U21s on a number of occasions over the last couple of months.

Also in the side was midfielder Jai Curran-Nicholls, who recently spent a spell on trial with Colchester United.

Former Australian U15 international Curran-Nicholls, who also came on as a sub for the U21s at Bristol City earlier in the week, is currently with Atherton LC in the North West Counties League.

U21s: Williamson, Lavin, H Barbrook (c), F Barbrook, Mazionis, Carr, Chirewa, Curran-Nicholls, Curtis, Foyo, Ayinde. Subs: Cullum, Haddoch, O'Neill, Nwabueze, Morgan.
