Bury St Edmunds V 2 Ipswich V 4

Ipswich V used their best performance of the season to leap over third placed Norwich City V in the table.

Ipswich's side had a great balance to it, with a strong spine of older players down the middle, supported by younger players on the flanks.

In an outstanding first half performance Ipswich got off a strong start when Richard LeVay pounced on a loose ball after Sebborn's initial shot was saved in the first five minutes.

It was Sebborn himself who scored twice more in the first period, each time picking his spot around the Bury keeper with pin point accuracy.

A feisty home side struggled to contain an almost rampant Ipswich who launched wave after wave of attacks to finish the half 3-0 up.

The visitors took their foot off the gas in the second period and allowed Bury back into the game.

Ipswich finally put the game beyond the reach of the home side when George Payne dropped a left shoulder, stepped around the defence and roofed an unstoppable shot into the net for his third goal in three games.
