Colchester 2 – 0 Ipswich

Colchester United have beaten local rivals Ipswich Town 2-0 at home this afternoon keeping a rare clean sheet in the process.

Ipswich came to North Essex this afternoon looking to progress their promotion aspirations but failed as a Colchester team of old refused to lay down and be relegated by their near rivals.

Scott Vernon scored twice as the U’s secured the 3 points at a rampant Layer Road giving their long suffering fans something to cheer about!
