U18s Face Fulham - Ipswich Town News
Town's U18s travel to Fulham's training ground at Motspur Park, New Malden on Saturday morning (KO noon). The youngsters will want to build on last week's 1-0 win at home to Norwich.
Meanwhile, former Blue Paul Mariner, now assistant boss at US side the new England Revolution, is planning to bring some of his youngsters over to visit the Town academy. Mariner is finalising the details of an U14 trip later this season.
The ex-England striker is also keen for Town to send kids over to the Boston-based club at some point in the future.
In 2003 Mariner, then a coach at Harvard University, brought a side over for a game against Town's reserves.
