U18s Drawn at Bournemouth in FA Youth Cup - Ipswich Town News

Town’s U18s have been drawn away against AFC Bournemouth in round three of the FA Youth Cup.

The Blues, who host the Cherries in Professional Development League Two South at Playford Road tomorrow morning, will be hoping to progress further than last year when they were beaten 2-1 at home by Swansea.

The previous season, the U18s reached the quarter-finals before unluckily losing 4-2 after-extra-time to West Ham United at Portman Road having been reduced to 10 men.

Town have won the competition on three occasions, in 1973, 1975 and 2005.

Third round ties must be played before Saturday 14th December.
