U21s Win at Peterborough - Ipswich Town News
Town’s U21s secured a 3-2 victory over Peterborough United at their Idverde Training Ground this afternoon, despite the home side staging a late ultimately unsuccessful comeback.
Jamie Mauge gave John McGreal’s side the lead in the 22nd minute, then six minutes later Bradley Ihionvien missed a chance to level from the spot.
Rio Morgan (pictured) added a second for the Blues seven minutes after the restart, before January signing Somto Boniface netted a free-kick in the 65th minute to make it 3-0.
Posh fought back late on and with seven minutes remaining pulled one back from the penalty spot, Ihionvien having been successful on that occasion, then Chris Conn-Clarke reduced Town’s advantage still further on 85. But the Blues held on to claim the three points.
U21s: Williamson, Babb, Boniface, Elliott, Onuchukwu, Turner, Mendel, Trialist, Mauge, Taylor (c), Morgan. Subs: Trialist, Fletcher, O'Keefe, Domi, Adebayo.
