U18s Win at Brentford - Ipswich Town News
Town’s U18s beat their Brentford counterparts 2-1 at Wheatsheaf Park on Saturday.
George Chenery (pictured) gave the Blues the lead with a header after a corner had fallen to him on 39, then, after the Bees had levelled seven minutes after the restart through Josh Djoro, added his and Town’s second on the hour, another header from a corner.
As a result, the Blues’ youngsters, who are set to have a new lead coach with Olly Lee joining Norwich City, move above the West Londoners into eighth in Professional Development League Two South.
Town U18s: Fleischer, Elliot, O’Sullivan, Heard, Chenery, Longwe, Boswell, Towler, Mauge, Eze, Unadike. Subs: McCann, Fletcher, Nicolaou, Iorpenda, Sains.
