U18s End Season With 6-2 Win at Watford - Ipswich Town News
Town’s U18s ended their 2022/23 with a 6-2 away win against Watford at Kings Langley, Tom Taylor netting a hat-trick and Finn Steele, Oli Davis and Rio Oudnie-Morgan one each.
The Blues’ youngsters, who are coached by Callum Tongue and Sam Darlow, were 3-0 up at half-time through Taylor’s first two and Steele.
The goals continued in the second half with the Hornets netting twice, Taylor (pictured) completing his hat-trick and subs Davis and Oudnie-Morgan, from the penalty spot, seeing the Blues to the three points.
