U21s Thrashed By Charlton - Ipswich Town News

The Blues’ U21s were handed an 8-1 thrashing by their Charlton Athletic counterparts at Playford Road this afternoon.

Town went behind in the 17th minute when Henry Rylah put the Addicks in front, then five minutes later Patrick Casey made it 2-0.

Casey added his second and his team’s third on the half hour, before Ryan Huke added the fourth on 38 and Tolu Ladapo, on-loan Blues striker Freddie’s younger brother, made it 5-0 in first-half injury time.

Nine minutes into the second half Euan Williams made it six, then grabbed his second and the South Londoners’ seventh on 63.

Lewis Fiorini made it 8-0 three minutes later before Daniel O’Connor pulled one back for Town in the 70th minute to make it 8-1 and complete the scoring.

Meanwhile, midfielder Ryan Carr and full-back Ayyuba Jambang have joined Aveley on loan, the duo having made their debuts from the start in Saturday’s 2-0 FA Trophy defeat at Bromley.

Elsewhere, the U18s’ game against the Addicks at their Sparrows Lane training ground, which was postponed on Saturday, has been rescheduled for Tuesday 30th April, kick-off 1pm.

The date of the Endeavour Automotive Suffolk Premier Cup semi-final between a Town side made up largely of U18s augmented with one or two U21s and Needham Market has switched from Wednesday, 13th March 13th to Tuesday 20th February 20th to reduce the Marketmen's fixture congestion.

The match will be played at Hadleigh United’s Millfield, kick-off at 7.45pm.

U21s: Binns, Babb, H Barbrook, Mazionis, O'Connor, Turner, Ayinde, Okunowo, Buabo, Roberts, Foyo. Subs: Fleischer, Jambang, Taylor, Morgan, Boatswain.
