Town conclude their pre-season friendly programme when National League Southend United visit Portman Road this evening (KO 7pm).

Tyreece John-Jules, Greg Leigh and Freddie Ladapo were on target as what was essentially a Town second XI beat Southend United 3-1 at Portman Road in the final friendly of pre-season. Arsenal loanee John-Jules gave the Blues the lead on seven, Leigh made it 2-0 on 58, then Ladapo completed the scoring two minutes from time after Callum Powell had pulled one back for the National League side in the 77th minute.

Tyreece John-Jules netted in the seventh minute to give the Blues a 1-0 half-time lead over Southend United at Portman Road.

Town are set to give a trial to Dutch winger Rawley Rozendaal during pre-season training. The 21-year-old previously spent time with the Blues at the end of last season and did enough to win a second spell at Playford Road.

Town's U16s drew 3-3 with Manchester United in an entertaining friendly at Portman Road on Friday evening, but lost a penalty shoot-out 5-3 to the Premier League club's academy side.
