Chelsea Reserves 1-1 Ipswich Reserves

Last updated : 31 August 2004 By Site Editor
Clarke, who has been capped by Republic of Ireland at Under 18 level, scored in the dying seconds to earn Town a point after Michele Gallaccio put the home side ahead in the first half.

Town rarely threatened in the match despite having both Dean Bowditch and Pablo Counago up front, and can consider themselves somewhat fortunate to come away with a draw in a match that they never really got going in.

Town Lineup: Supple, Mitchell (Synnott), Boardley, Murray, Sobers, Hogg, Flack (Clarke), Dinning, Counago, Bowditch, Barron.

Chelsea Lineup: Pidgeley, Smith, Huth, Watt, Babayaro, Morais, Oliveira (Younghusband), Parker, Hollands, Woodards, Gallaccio (Tillen)
