U18s Beaten at Swansea - Ipswich Town News
Town’s U18s were beaten 5-3 by Swansea City at their Landore training ground on Tuesday having been reduced to 10 men in the second half.
Iwan Morgan gave the Swans a two-goal lead within the first half hour, the first a penalty, before Blues trialist Chuks Uzor-Greey netted a goal prior to the break and two in 10 minutes after the restart to complete a hat-trick and make the score 3-2 to Town.
However, between the second and third goals, the Blues had lost a man following Seth O’Neill’s red card for a two-footed tackle and in the final 25 minutes the Swans scored three more times.
Morgan claimed his hat-trick before Thomas Searle and Dan Watts sealed the three points for the Welshmen.
U18s: Williamson, O’Neill, Haddoch, Curtis, Ayoola, Moodie, Uzor-Greey, Okunono, Trialist, Taylor (Graham 75), Boswell (Nkansa-Dwamena 75).
