U’S TO PLAY IPSWICH TOWN IN PRE-SEASON

Cambridge United will welcome Sky Bet Championship side Ipswich Town to the Cambs Glass Stadium on Saturday 23rd July (Kick Off 3:00pm).

With the U’s already scheduled to play Aston Villa on Tuesday 26th July (Kick Off 7:30pm), Shaun Derry’s side will have the opportunity to put their pre-season preparations to the test against higher ranked opposition, when the Suffolk outfit cross the county border once more.

A late strike from Cole Skuse settled the clash between the sides last year, with both Barry Corr and Luke Berry, who notched a superb free kick, on the scoresheet for the U’s in a keenly contested 3-2 defeat.

Shaun Derry’s side were set to face Lincoln City on Saturday 23rd July, but that fixture has now been cancelled with the U’s instead going toe-to-toe with the 1977/78 FA Cup and 1980/81 UEFA Cup champions.

Ticket information will be released in due course, with the Amber Army already able to secure tickets online, in-store and by calling 01223 566 500 for the Aston Villa match.

Further details regarding the club’s fixtures on their pre-season tour will be confirmed early next week.
