Your Chance to Take on the Blues
One Town fan will have a unique chance to face the Blues when Ipswich and East Suffolk take on Roy Keane’s squad at Twenty20 cricket in Chantry Park on Friday 23rd July (6.15pm). A place in the Ipswich and East Suffolk team will go to the highest bidder in an auction.
If you fancy whistling a bouncer past Pablo’s ear or reckon you could bamboozle Tamás Priskin with your googly, email a bid along with your name, address and phone number to iescc2020@virginmedia.com. More details and a running total are on the Ipswich and East Suffolk website.
Proceeds from the match will go to the Cancer Campaign in Suffolk, one of Town’s nominated charities. A framed shirt worn and signed by Australian cricket legend Shane Warne is the top prize in the raffle with tickets available from the Cancer Campaign in Suffolk office at 39-41 Elm Street, Ipswich or by phone on 01473 211884. Entrance and parking are free for the match via London Road.
The Blues were previously in cricketing action against Ipswich and East Suffolk during pre-season in 2007 and 2008.
Two nights prior to the game against Town, Ipswich and East Suffolk play another Twenty20 match involving the Ipswich Witches speedway team. Proceeds from that match will go to paralysed former Witches rider Kim Jansson.

Leeds crush Norwich to cruise through to play-off finalWith our recent form being what it was, I was expecting a nervy encounter, with Leeds struggling to get through the Norwich City defence, but how wrong I was! Suddenly we recovered the swagger we have shown for much of the season, and not a moment too soon.
Farke happy with the result after bore draw at NorwichMany neutrals have complained on social media that yesterday’s game at Norwich City was a bit on the dull side, but the Leeds team wasn't set up to please them. For us it was the result that mattered, and it should leave us in a better position to get through to the final.
Norwich AwaydazeFor the second time this season we are visiting Norwich City, this time for the play-off game at high noon on Sunday, and the kick-off time is of course thanks to our good friends at Sky Sports. You’ll find Carrow Road is about a mile to the south-east of the city centre.
QPR AwaydazeOur trip to Queens Park Rangers is at 8pm on Friday, thanks once again to our very good friends at Sky Sports. We’re not famous any more!
Crisis, what Crisis?As Mark Twain might have said, rumours of the death of our promotion hopes have been greatly exaggerated. Last night’s win at Middlesbrough was a hard watch towards the end, but the vital three points has got our campaign back on track.
